WOW! I had no idea when I was enjoying lunch and poked my finger to search for Deborah Parker and of course you are the sister of Karla Ravandi. Karla spoke of your visit yesterday and I was absolutely knocked over. She and David have been the most gracious people to work alongside of. The site, the home, the entire Estate project and my tiny contribution, a vineyard. I love Bordeaux’s from the Mayacamus mountains. 35 years ago I started planting Bordeaux varietals in those hills, from Sonoma town all the way to Cloverdale. Those vineyards were always great wine producers. Of course unknown to all except the owners and a few friends, as most were too small for commercial release.
I hope we can meet at Shiloh and enjoy a very good red wine, and some of my Estate Chardonnay while David makes pizza for us all.
Best regards, Carmine

Dear Carmine, Thank you for your kind note. I was so happy when they told me they were working with you! There’s only ONE Carmine. I look forward to raising a glass with you at Mayahuel Estate sometime soon. Cheers, Deborah
