About Us

In 1978 Randy and Lori purchased a 14-acre parcel in Angwin with about 5 acres of Cabernet vines on it. At the time, Randy was working full-time as a winemaker in Rutherford. In the evenings and on weekends, Randy, Lori, and a young Mike tended the vines. The same year, Randy agreed to farm and buy the fruit from Harry Frank's adjoining property. That first harvest yielded 9 tons of fruit from these two vineyards. Randy purchased an additional 3 tons from the Beatty Ranch and Dunn Vineyards was underway.

Everything picked up speed after that. Randy, Lori, Mike and baby Jennifer moved onto the property that today is the winery. In 1981, the winery was officially bonded. By 1984 the ATF approved Howell Mountain as a sub-AVA of the Napa Valley. Kristina was born and Lori was now running after 2 young daughters and a teenage son. Randy was still working down in the valley so the family business was still relegated to evenings and weekends. But things were going well. By 1985 they moved into the new family house (the "Brown House") and Randy left his job in the valley.

By the end of the '80's Dunn Vineyards had become a successful operation. Randy was consulting for other wineries and selling out all of his wine. In 1989 he had run out of room to store barrels and he tunneled into the mountain to make more space. Now they had room for more barrels and a place for Jenny and Kristina to rollerskate

In 1999, Mike came back to help out part-time. It took about three years, but the "cellar grunt" came on full-time. Kristina graduated from Cal Poly with a degree in winemaking and viticulture and came onboard. By 2005, both kids were working full-time for Randy. Dunn Vineyards had always been a family business, but this was a whole new level.

Kristina's girls are a little young yet, but they tour the vineyards eating wild blackberries, testing grape ripeness and visiting uncle Mike. Mike's son Alex has been helping out with bottling for the past several years and 2017 was his first full harvest. So far it looks good for the Dunn clan to continue farming this land

There are some distinct benefits to being above 1400 feet in elevation. We tend to see more sunshine each day and the heat tends to be more moderate. But spring starts later for us and, like winter, tends to be cooler here than on the valley floor. Frost is a concern from bud break through flowering. In 2008, four days of 19-degree temperatures devastated half our crop. Our yields average about 2 tons an acre (which is really low) but the cool, wet vintages do not have the same negative effects that come with being on the valley floor.

We farm about 42 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon on the property. This is a manageable size for us to remain in the driver's seat for all farming and winemaking operations.

I double cleanse. I find that mineral oil based makeup removers are hard to wash off. Oil based ones are nourishing and easier to remove but are all very dissimilar. I find formulations with active ingredient CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC GLYCERIDES high on the list are the best for my skin type. Combination/Oily(summer). RetinA/Retinoid , glycolic, Vitamin c user. These formulations emulsify everything. No scrubbing or excessive rubbing. No funny skin irritants or slimy film left on skin. MY Favorites: La Roche-Posay Micellar Cleansing Water for Sensitive Skin [all skins even those using actives]#1 My Favorite All year. Black Opal Even True Skin Perfecting Cream Cleanser [Good for dry skin or winter time]Discontinued Clarins Cleansing Milk with Gentian (Combination or Oily Skin)[A opaque 'milk' texture for Truly oily skin not drying but not hydrating]#2 Summers mostly. Pricey but worth it. Emulsifies everything and rinses well. CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser | Makeup Remover and Daily Face Wash for Oily Skin | Now Solutions Soothing rose facial cleansing oil[ Good for all skin types consistency is 'thin'ish'] #3 I like the texture its an oil but doesn't feel 'congested' greasy to me. Sheamoisture Even Radiant raw honey 3n1 cleansing balm[Room temperature butter texture for dry and or dehydrated skin. Possibly good for skin needing nourishment(shea and honey). IMO this is a 'wipe off cleanser. Say with a 'wonder cloth' or some such. Not a daily use but has its place for sure. May work as a hydrating face mask. Think Estee Lauder Triple cream(discontinued). Nice size and affordable. Cerave Makeup removing cleanser Balm[ A 'waxy' looking balm that seems whipped. All skin types]. Does what it says. IMO a wipe off cleanser even thought directions say rinse. I rinse then wipe then cleanse. Sometimes i just go directly to cleansing. Note no CAPRYLIC/CAPRICTRICERIDE or its derivatives in the ingredient list. This one took time for me to remove but its not greasy. Has other solvents, emollients and emulsifiers. Definitely a gentle skin conditioner. A good product.

great for acne-prone and sensitive skin
Size: 13.52 Fl Oz
Simply the best makeup remover I have found for my sensitive skin and acne-prone. I use it to take my makeup off before Cerave cleanser for a super gentle double-cleanse, and it has significantly reduced my cystic acne breakouts.

Holy Grail Micellar Water
Size: 13.52 Fl Oz
This is my holy grail micellar water! My skin can be sensitive and reactive at times, and this product has never let me down. It has never irritated my eyes or skin. I use it to double cleanse, although sometimes I use only this micellar water followed by a quick splash of water. It does not leave a film and leaves my skin feeling nourished and happy.
