Welcome to...
Hollywood and Vine Cellars, where two guys from the entertainment biz have
gotten together to make the best, hand crafted, ultra-premium Napa Valley wine
ever!
When you hear the words “ Hollywood and Vine", the famous intersection in Los
Angeles might come to mind, but for us, the name represents the partnership
between friends and a mutual love of wine.
Actor turned director and screenwriter, Doug Barr, relocated to the Napa Valley
from Hollywood, in the early 1990’s. Inspired to try his hand at the wine
business, Doug called his longtime pal, Bruce Orosz, and together, they created
Hollywood and Vine Cellars. Recruiting one of the most talented winemakers in
the valley, Celia Masyczek, H & V released it’s first vintage in 1998 to glowing
reviews.
Many of you have asked us what “2480” means. When he moved to the valley, Doug
purchased a piece of property from the estate of Maynard Amerine. The address
was “2480”. Mr. Amerine was a pioneer in the California wine industry. An author
and professor at UC Davis, he taught many of the most noteworthy names in the
American wine business and impacted the art of winemaking world wide. Doug found
one of the books Mr. Amerine had written in the old wine cellar. It was that
textbook, that got Doug thinking about the challenge of making great wine.
Consequently, the numbers on the bottle are a subtle homage to Maynard Amerine,
not only for his contributions to the art and science of fine winemaking in
general, but also for his inspirational role in the creation of Hollywood and
Vine.
At Hollywood and Vine, we’ve worked tirelessly to find the most sought after,
often hidden away, vineyards in the Napa Valley from which to source our fruit.
We concentrate on pedigreed terroir, low yielding clones, and labor intensive
viticultural techniques in order to produce what we believe are truly
extraordinary wines. We encourage you to take a look at our website to learn
more about our highly acclaimed, small production Cabernet Sauvignon and
Chardonnay.
