    It’s almost fifty years after the Judgement of Paris and no one needs to be convinced that California wine is good, largely great, often excellent and, with a bit of age, otherworldly. And the secondary market has caught on. Blue-chip California bottles will frequently command three, four or five-digit sums on the secondary market. Liv-ex, the global marketplace for the wine trade, has been tracking California’s ascension in the collectible space.

    Carolyn Wente’s early days running the family winery with her two brothers were clouded by death, taxes, an earthquake and fierce competition. But she was up to the challenge, something that she proved time and again over her 40-year career with the Livermore-based winery Carl H. Wente founded in 1883. Today, the Wente operation is the longest, continuously family-owned and operated winery in the United States.
