Rodney Strong Vineyards, California
Joined by Chef Jeffrey Parenty
Rodney Strong Vineyards is dedicated to crafting world-class wines that capture
the essence of Sonoma County. Rodney Strong sustainably farms 12 estate
vineyards and produces wines from Sonoma County’s finest appellations—
Alexander Valley, Russian River Valley, Chalk Hill and Sonoma Coast. Rodney
Strong Vineyards was founded in 1959 by former ballet dancer and wine pioneer,
Rod Strong. Strong put Sonoma County on the world map of wine as the first
to produce and release a single vineyard cabernet sauvignon from Sonoma
County, the first to produce and release a Chalk Hill appellation chardonnay
and one of the first to plant pinot noir in Russian River Valley. The Klein family, a
third generation California farming family, purchased Rodney Strong Vineyards
in 1989. The Klein family’s dedication to Sonoma County and their pursuit of
quality won them Wine Enthusiast’s American Winery of the Year in 2013, and in
2014 the Kleins celebrated their silver anniversary of family ownership.
