Introduction
THE CALIFORNIA WINE MUSEUM

Wine & Vine Things
S
ome where along the way as a fine arts and antiques dealer selling,
among other things, high end corkscrews to high end buyers, it occurred
to me that I was infatuated with “All things Wine.” That was thirty plus
years ago. So, I began collecting all things great, unique, and often wonderful
in the wine collecting field. I developed a “dirt- to- table” approach to my
collection. Over the years it grew into what was perhaps the largest and most
diverse assemblage of antique and vintage objects relating to wine in the
world. Midway into this adventure selling mainstream antiques to support
my habit, it occurred to me that this great collection, this private endeavor,
should not just be for me, but for the public. It should be a museum where
the public could share it and be educated by this assemblage. This museum
should be the vehicle that relates through the use of wine implements
and artifacts the “journey and the struggle” of wine from the Old World to
California.

In 2017, after four unsuccessful contracts to place a wine museum in the San
Francisco North Bay region I had no recourse but to begin the process of the
dissolution of my collection. This was an eye opening experience; out of the
woodwork came all these unexpected and interested buyers that included
institutions, collectors, wine history affiliations and wannabe wine museums
from all over the West. And then, the “American Pickers” show found me
and produced an episode around the California Wine Museum that put my
collection out into the world. Since then I have sold to, delivered the goods to,
and curated two Wine Museums, “The Wine Museum of California” in Santa
Nella Calif at the Hotel Mission De Oro; a- yet- to- be- named destination wine
museum in downtown Albuquerque, NM. I have also provided the inventory
for the important Wine History Project of San Luis Obispo County. This is
in addition to other collector groups sales, wineries and private individuals
seeking out scarce wine history.
*I have held back a lot of the best from my private collection. It is now ALL
FOR SALE, and I still continue to source and buy for client needs. If I don’t
have it I know where to find it. If you are looking for a piece of California
wine history, I am the person to contact. Maybe, if the winds blow right some
group north of San Francisco will also find a need for that much needed
Northern California Wine Museum. While my interest for this collection has
been uncovering the history of the Wine Industry in California: my focus has
always been unearthing the importance of this wine history as relating to
Sonoma County, my beautiful backyard.
THE TASTING ROOM is open!

man’s holdings were
mostly destroyed in the
earthquake and fire in
1906. This is a sign made
of a composition of papi-
er-mache, plaster and a
binding fiber. Because of
its fragility, there are only
a few remaining copies
known.
CALWA was the most important binding wine conglormates that

changed the history of the Wine Industry in California, controlling
80% plus of all wine distribution of California wines before Prohi-
bition. Their 40 acre facility at Point Molate in Richmond, California
called “WINEHAVEN” was an incredible factor in the California wine
distribution wine marketplace. Prohibition put an end to the inertia
it had gained.

Bar Screws
A
“Bar Screw” is usually a mechanical device for opening
a wine bottle or other corked bottle in a bar, saloon or a
tavern. The idea was that these rather massive openers
could do the job quickly in a busy environment. And, they would
hold up longer with use than a regular corkscrew. They were
popular with in the US and Europe from the mid 1850’s until
Prohibition. There are many US and foreign patents and are widely
collected.

Baskets & Bins
W
oven reed, raffia, wicker and willow were common
materials used for making grape harvest baskets in
the 19th century and into the mid-20th century. Iron
and steel were also used and even copper for special events like
the harvesting of the Nouveau grape at crush time. A variety of
shapes and sizes of harvest carriers were used by men, women and
children. Boxes and “lugs” were also used. Many of these styles
found their way to the United States early on.

Bottle Cleaners
S
ince the bottle came into use for wine and spirits in the 18th
century, they were recycled for reuse. Bottles were a costly
factor in wine production. As an effort to defray costs in the
19th century, various methods for cleaning were used including
the mechanical ones in this collection. Made of iron and brass,
these devices or equipment were either hand turned, or machine
driven. Brushes with fine ends were rotated in a swirling motion
that cleaned the bottle interior. While innovated in Europe, bottle
cleaners were widely used in the United States.

Bottle Dryers
W
ith regard to wine bottles and those containing food
or spirits, recycling is not a new factor. Bottles were
expensive to make, and many were hand blown by
glassblowers. The bottle dryer was in use by the beginning of the
19th century. They were made of metal and wood and in a variety
of shapes, sizes and designs. Some dryers were stationary units,
and some were hanging fixtures. Mostly they were plain, however,
there are those with fancy embellishments. Other larger ones were
expandable.
Bottles would first be cleaned by a variety of mechanical “bottle
cleaners” and then they would be set upright and angled onto a met-
al or wood peg or set into a pocket for drying and to be reused.

Cellar Lamps
E
ver since there were wine cellars, there was the need for
ligthing them. Wine caves and cellars go back to the 17th
century. The earliest form of lighting used was candlelight
that evolved into various oils and oil lamps, gas and then, in the late
19th century, electricity. This collection contains examples of candle
and oil lamps that date from the begining of the 19th century and go
into oil at the turn of the 20th century. Some cellar lamps were used
for general lighting of the cave white others were used for lightin
of the cave while othes were used for lighting the vats or looking at
wine samples.

Cellar tools
A
fter each year’s grape harvest, a winery’s attention goes to
the cellar. Here, hard work, science and chemistry transform
raw fruit into wine. This requires a myriad of tools and
instruments that allow the magic of wine to evolve and to become a
bottle of wine on your table.

Cooper tools
A
“cooper” is a person trained in the making of wooden casks,
barrels, vats, buckets, tubs and other staved containers
made from timber that was usually heated or steamed to
make it pliable. Coopering is a profession that goes back to ancient
times. It gets its name however from Middle Dutch or Middle Low
German Middle Age etymology. The establishment of a copper
is called a “cooperage” as is the name of the products of their
trade. It is a highly skilled but dying out trade. New modern-day
technology is eclipsing the art of barrel making. A hundred years
ago it required seven years of apprenticeship to be called a cooper
and as long as fifteen years to be called a “Master Cooper.” The tools
of this trade are many as it is a highly technical and multi-skilled
endeavor even requiring implements from other trades. Cooper
tools are incredibly unique and diverse often with strange names
but referred to by tool collectors as sculptural and beautiful.

relate to wine, the vineyard, and the process of making wine.
Sometimes it includes art related items. Often, the items
are “go withs” that are used for creating an atmosphere in a tasting
room or wine cellar. Often display items are used with another
object. And, on my site, many are wine accessories for the table.

nology is defined as the study and science of wine and
winemaking. This is a distinction from viticulture that has
to do with the agricuktural aspects of vine growing and
harvesting. however, an enologist is trained in both the indoor
and outdoor aspects of “Viticulture and Oenology”. This includes
schooling, training and education that would cover both the aspects
of wine and wine making.

Grape Crushers
A
crusher is a mechanical device used by the winemaker
to gently separate the “rachis“ (the stems which hold the
grapes), bugs and other unwanted matter from the pulp and
juice of the grapes. The newly picked grapes would be put into the
crusher “hopper“. Grape crushing is that step in winemaking before
pressing the grapes and after harvest.

Grape Presses
T
he pressing of grapes is the process where juice is extracted
from the grapes with the aid of a wine press. Earliest wine
presses came with ancient cultures. However, the “basket
press” still used today was developed in the Middle Ages. Although
labor intensive, the process and use of this style press can, when
properly used, more gently press the grapes. However, it is slow and
often exposes the “must” to oxygen. In California, the basket press
with a “ratchet” style head on a worm was the predominant type of
grape press from the 1870’s until Prohibition. It is still used today
by home winemakers and wineries. Most of the grape presses in this
collection are of this style. They date from the 1870’s to the 1930's.

Spigots & Barrel Taps
S
pigots and taps are devices used to control the floe of liquid
from a container like a barrel, keg or cask. In the wine industry,
these were a most necessary part of the barrel. They can be
very simple, yet efficient, like the two-part hollowed out wood
receptor that inserts into the container with a hole in the top of it
that can receive the second part with a valve and with a T handle
that rotates to allow flow or not. for longevity, these became made
of non-ferrous metals like brass and bronze. To impress, they often
had ornamentation made from silver and even gold depending on
the contents of what was being drawn.

science, practice and study of vineyard production are
referred to as “viticulture.” Tools used in all aspects of this culture
are referred to as vineyard tools. These can be as simple as hand
tools or as complex as vehicles and large equipment.

Vintage Funnels
F
unnels are widely used in winemaking and wine drinking.
Often funnels serve in the filtration of wine especially with
regard to champagne. Funnels come in many shapes and sizes
and can be simple or elaborate. Quite often they are tin lined over
copper or brass. Most commonly they are used to transfer wine or
additives from one container to another. However, they were also
used early on to funnel wine from a master wine bottle to smaller
ones for wine service at the table.

California Wine Bottle Collection
T
his California Wine bottle Collection has been procured and brought together over
many years. There are more than 500 examples; this historical assemblage is a “see
it in your hand” history of the California wine bottle from the California Gold Rush
through Prohibition and into the period of the resurgence of wine in America in the 1960’s.
It includes bottles of many wineries, wine associations, distributors and wine merchants.
The “early” bottles outside of the California domain are from the late part of the 18th
century to the mid 1870s.
Bottles were part of the marketing of wine and their artistic and utilitarian endeavor
speaks for each one by way of whether it is a seal or slug, embossed or a labeled bottle.
A bottle can be differentiated by whether it is free blown, blown into a mold, how many
parts to the mold there are, what type of pontil scar it might have on its bottom or whether
the bottles base is smooth. How was the bottle manufactured? Does it have an applied or
tooled top? How was it finished and identified. Bottles are complex!
Enjoy the tour and buy history.

Wine Thiefs / Pipettes
T
his simple winery tool has been used since the late 18th
century. The object is to utilize this enological instrument
made of metal or glass to take a sample from a wine barrel,
cask or vat. One would dip the pipette or wine thief into the housed
wine, allowing it to draw up wine and then “thumb” it to hold the
sample. Then, the hold would be released into a wine glass for
sampling. Some are small in length and some are larger depending
on the barrel or vat.

Wine Transfer Pumps
I
n vintage wine making, processed grape juice eventually ends up
in a fermenting vat, a wood container of varying gallons. It could
be a cask or a vat as large as many thousands of gallons. How to
move this volume is the job of a wine pump. Pumps are devices that
move liquids by a certain mechanical action. Everything including a
bellows type pump to centrifugal hand pumped devices were used to
move wine in the 19th and early 20th centuries. There are wine juice
pumps and there are wine “must” pumps that move unfiltered fluid.
