History
After a successful career as an architect in Los Angeles, Art began making award winning wine at home in the early 70's. In 1979, he moved his family and purchased a vineyard south of St. Helena, where he designed and built Whitehall Lane Winery. At Whitehall Lane, he continued as a commercial winemaker, releasing his first wine in 1980. Whitehall Lane became quite a success and as demand grew and production increased, Art found himself spending more time managing and less time making wine, which was not what he had set out to do. With the winery growing to well over 30,000 cases a year, he and his partner/brother decided to sell Whitehall Lane in 1988. Art and his wife, Bunnie purchased a 14-acre hillside vineyard in the eastern hills of Napa Valley. Here he designed and built his second winery, Judd's Hill. The idea was to produce no more than 3000 cases of wine annually, an amount that would allow him to enjoy a hands-on approach to every aspect of wine production.
