Venge Vineyards Acquires Robert Rue Winery of Russian River Valley

Proprietor and Winemaker, Kirk P. Venge, notes that the purchase of the Rue Winery comes at an ideal crossing point in his pursuit of making Sonoma County Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. States Venge: "My family has been an integral part of the winegrowing community in Napa Valley for several decades now. When I acquired the Venge Vineyards brand from my family in 2008, we often talked about one day crossing county lines to build another winery in Sonoma. It is a dream come true to acquire this gem of a property in the esteemed Russian River Valley."
