This Toronto based collector is a long time storage client at Iron Gate. He has decided to sell some of his extensive collection which includes some wonderful back vintages from Napa and France.
Producer notes- Searching for a modest "vacation cottage" in Napa Valley, Francis and Eleanor Coppola purchase a portion of what had been the Inglenook estate—the mansion and acreage—put on the market by Betty Daniel. The Coppolas soon discover the inherent treasure of what they now own and vow, no matter how long it takes, to reunite all of the land and to restore Inglenook's esteemed reputation. They establish their own winery, which they call the Niebaum-Coppola Estate Winery. The Niebaum-Coppola Estate produces its first vintage of Rubicon, a red Bordeaux-style blend, named after Julius Caesar's crossing of the Rubicon in 49 B.C., a small step that nevertheless began Rome's civil war—"the point of no return." The name conjures an apt metaphor for the Coppolas' aim to create wines of the quality achieved by Inglenook at the height of its reputation.
