Please do!
Motion seconded.
FWIW Siduri did make at least one Leon Millot from Oregon grapes some years ago.
Alright, I used a tripod this time. Here’s the entire useful area of the 1998 SCGGA RRV AVA map.
Dunno why it rotates when you click on it. You can right click on it and save it then load it into any photo browser to zoom in and inspect it.
Here’s the Healdsburg area closer up from the 1998 map (sorry about the blue reflection).
Here’s the Piner-Olivet area closer up from the 1998 map:
I’ve included this shot of the 1998 map which includes Santa Rosa. While not technically part of the RRV ava, it is interesting nontheless. It shows Turley’s Zampatti vineyard as the “Chanate” vineyard. This area has it’s own ava now, Fountaingrove. The 2017 Tubbs fire hammered the ava, but the fire was stopped in Hidden Valley, just north of the Zampatti vineyard (but not before wiping out hundreds of homes).
Finally, here’s some 1998 map details around the perimeter that show it’s formal name and who created it etc.
Here’s a full view of the 1998 map including the index numbers and letters around the perimeter. This allows you to use the vineyard and winery legend to locate it on the map. If anyone needs a closer up view of some area on the map let me know and I’ll try to oblige.
Here’s the full SCGGA RRV AVA 2007 Map:
Turley’s Zampatti (NE of Santa Rosa & shown as the “Chanate” vineyard on the 1998 version of the map) is no longer shown.
Sorry for the rotations when you click on these. You can right click them and save them then load them into any picture file browser to inspect them
Here’s the Healdsburg area from the 2007 version of the SCGGA RRV AVA Map:
and the Piner-Olivet area from the 2007 version of the SCCGA RRV AVA Map:
A few of the changes from the 1998 to the 2007 version are:
- Saitone, Gambogi, Belloni & Bacigalupi (next to Piner Rd) still shown, but no longer labeled.
- De Loach Papera now shown as Tom Feeney, as is Montafi.
- DeLoach Peletti now shown as Carlisle
- Krist and Arata no longer shown. Krist (north of Pelligini) is definitely abandoned now, but Arata is not. The “C6” block I mentioned seems to be labeled as part of Chelli.
- Btw, Atoosa’s vineyard (where Carlisle’s Papa’s Block Syrah is sourced from) is shown. It’s just NW of the intersection of Guerneville & Fulton.
Here’s the Map title and legends etc. for the 2007 Map:
Sorry for the inversions when you click on the last 3. You can right click them and save them then load them into any picture file browser to inspect them.

Many thanks for posting these Clyde.

A few items of note:
- The Rossi vineyard (Carlisle) is shown west of Warm Springs Rd south of Kenwood, but only labeled in the 1998 map.
- The Justi Creek/Mancuso vineyard (Lasseter winery), just east of the intersection of Henno and Mancus Rds (north of Glen Ellen) appears to be shown as the Morse vineyard in both 1998 and 2007 maps.
- Old Hill is shown as the Teller vinyard in the 1998 map, but is unlabeled in the 2007 map.
- The Bedrock vineyard is labeled Domenici in the 1998 map, but Bedrock/Madrone in the 2007 map.
- The Casa Santinamaria/Maggies Reserve (SW of Boyes & Arnold) appears to be labeled Gallo in the 1998 map, but is unlabeled in the 2007 map.
