Married in 1980, Swiss born Margrit worked tirelessly to create a combined appreciation of wine, food, art and music for which the winery would become internationally famous. The pair were active in their support of the Napa Opera House and the Oxbow School and supported art and education through gifts to many area institutions. As Margrit once said, "Like painting and music, wine and food speak to the heart."
