The Rex family grew up in Los Angeles. In
1952, our father moved us from Iowa to the promised land of
Southern California. We come from a long line of farmers and
entrepreneurs — Dad's Irish and Mom's Sicilian. We grew up
learning that if you set your mind to it, you could accomplish
anything. We also learned to drive on the LA freeways and
so began a lifelong love affair with cars. My brother, Martin
(now our G.M. and new winery project manager) and I were first
in partnership on a 1931 Model A Ford that we bought for $100,
drove home and proceeded to hotrod (flathead V8 engine, four
on the floor-gear shifter). My late friend, John Farrington,
always compared his wine to women--the only other thing as
complex as wine. I, of course, couldn't resist putting the
women in cars. My apologies to the feminists and those of
other persuasions, but then the redhead and blond don't necessarily
have to be women.
