Lonen Wines

Owners: Lonen Curtis Winemaker:

After retiring from the high tech industry in the mid 1990s, Lonen Curtis began the serious pursuit of winemaking. He planted his first vineyard and began making wines in the Santa Cruz Mountains AVA.

The Curtis family relocated to the Napa Valley in 1997 and Lonen created an impressive foundation for the winery before being diagnosed with brain cancer in late 2002. Lonen Curtis died in December 2004 and his daughter Brandi Jocelyn Park took over. The winery is now known as Jocelyn.
