In 2006 Richard Karlo and Sherry Martin planted the first vines at Karlo Estates, a property they\u2019d bought the previous year. They planted a wide spectrum of varieties, focusing on Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Frontenac. They released their first wines in 2008 and built a winery in 2010. The vineyard area expanded to 14 acres (the property is 93 acres), but tragically Richard died in 2014.<\/p>\n
