Delectus Winery is a four thousand case Napa winery started in 1995 by Gerhard and Linda Reisacher.  Gerhard is an eighth generation wine maker from Austria who grew up farming the vineyards and making the red wines from a grape called St. Laurent about thirty minutes south of Vienna.

Gerhard fell in love with the Napa wines he had tasted in his native Austria and soon headed to California where he met and fell in love with Linda.  Their love and passion of wine soon became Delectus Winery; Delectus is Latin for the Ultimate Choice of which we think is an appropriate name for the wines we hope you will choose.

Delectus Winery is one of the highest rated, highest scoring wineries you have never heard of!
We rely on word of mouth marketing and a loyalty that is rarely seen in this wine market of today.
Come see why there is a buzz in the wine world about the big balanced red wines of Delectus!

Grgich Hills Estate, located in the heart of Napa Valley, was founded in 1977 by Miljenko “Mike” Grgich and Austin Hills of the Hills Bros. Coffee family. Mike Grgich’s 1973 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay had just won the now-famous Paris Tasting, besting the top white Burgundies, and so Grgich Hills’ wines were in high demand from the start. Our wine philosophy of consistency, quality, and longevity has led to ongoing critical and consumer acclaim for our elegant and food-friendly wines – Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel, Fumé Blanc, and late-harvest “Violetta.” Our vineyards are certified organic and Biodynamic, a holistic farming practice that uses the earth’s cycles and natural preparations to create wines with pure flavors and a pronounced sense of place. The quality of the fruit, the tender care in the winery, and the aging regimen make these hand-crafted wines immediately enjoyable on release yet capable of maturing gracefully for many years.

The first time Gustavo talked to Thrace was when he called her to tell her that he was her son’s little league baseball coach.  Who would have thought that would lead to joining forces to start a winery?  Turns out that they each had talents that, when combined, would work well together to form a winery.  Gustavo had been a winemaker, first at Chateau Montelena and then at Grgich Hills, for the past 21 years when they met. Thrace had a background in small business management and had already started two other companies by the time she met Gustavo.  Thirteen years later there is a pretty definite separation of duties: Gustavo makes the wine and Thrace sells it.   

The first production was 250 cases of a 1996 Zinfandel from the Chiles Valley Appellation.  This was followed by a Carneros Chardonnay and a Chiles Valley Cabernet Sauvignon in 1997.  In 2000 we added Sauvignon Blanc from the Mohr-Fry ranch in Lodi.   In 2004 we released the first Merlot under the GustavoThrace label and have since added very small quantities of a number of other varietals. What we make each year depends on the grapes that Gustavo finds and wants to work with. He continues to challenge himself with new varietals, clones and yeasts.  In 2005 we started The 3rd Bottle, which is a Napa Valley Red Table wine.  This has really let Gustavo demonstrate his blending skills as he puts these wines together.

The winery tasting room is located in downtown Napa across the street from the new Oxbow center.  The winery production is at our winery facility in the south end of Napa. Private tours may be arranged by calling the winery.

Gustavo Brambila was born in Jalisco, Mexico.  In 1957 he moved to Rutherford, California where his father worked for Beaulieu VineyardsIn 1976 he began his wine-making career at Chateau Montelena. In 1977 he joined Grgich Hills Cellar as it opened and made wines there for twenty-three years.  As a partner, Gustavo is the winemaker as well as the general manager for GustavoThrace. Gustavo is one of the characters in the feature film “Bottle Shock”, set during the famous “Judgment of Paris” tasting.  He is portrayed by the actor Freddy Rodriguez.

Thrace Bromberger was born and raised in Redlands, California. As a partner, Thrace does the National sales and marketing for the winery and runs the tasting room downtown.
