In 1911, after Uhlinger's death in 1880, his sons sold the winery to Enrico D'Agostini.[4] Enrico's children continued the winery production until 1984, when they sold the winery to Armagan Odziker. Odziker then kept the winery for five years before selling it to Leon and Shirley Sobon who owned Shenandoah Vineyards nearby in 1989.[5] Today the winery is still owned and operated by the Sobon Family under Sobon Wine Company LLC.[6]
