Adobe Cellar - circa 1950 It's coming up on 70 years -- Ficklin Vineyards was founded that long ago. The Articles of Incorporation were filed with then Secretary of State of California, Frank M. Jordan, on September 30, 1946. Of course, there will be celebration.
David Ficklin, my father, served as winemaker for Ficklin Vineyards from 1948 to early 1982 when he retired... 34 years. I have been full-time with Ficklin VIneyards for 39 years, and served as Winemaker to Ficklin Vineyards for 36 years. Of course, there will be celebration.
I look forward to 100 years of Ficklin Vineyards -- I will be 93, by then, that might be "the new 73". Besides, they say when you're doing what you love, it isn't work anyway. Maybe we'll pull the cork on a couple of the '48s. Of course, there will be celebration.
Stay tuned...
