Dear Friends,
When I joined MacRostie in 2011, we had just seven employees and no Estate House. Back then, Steve and Thale MacRostie would host our team at their home for an annual pre-harvest celebration. Meals always began with a glass of sparkling wine on their patio followed by an intimate seated tasting, and no visit was complete without a tour of Thale’s beautiful garden! The MacRosties made us feel like a member of their family or a dear friend visiting from far away. When we designed the Estate House, we wanted to emulate what Steve and Thale did so flawlessly, including greeting guests with a glass of wine and providing beautiful spaces for people to relax and enjoy each other’s company.
This month marks ten years since we unveiled our stunning Estate House. I remember the excitement when we broke ground, the pride we all felt as we welcomed our first guests, and countless wonderful memories from events over the years. The Estate House changed everything for MacRostie. It gave us our Thale’s Estate Vineyard and a new small-lot winery exclusively for Pinot Noir. Most importantly, it gave us a home to share with our growing community. It made MacRostie more than a name on a label; it became us a place where wine lovers could come and explore our wines and share their passion with like-minded wine enthusiasts.
Thank you for a wonderful decade, and for making the Estate House your home away from home in wine country.
Best Wishes,
