This documentary tells the story of Bien Nacido Vineyards through the eyes of those who know it best. The vineyard traces its roots back to the year 1837 when a Spanish land grant of some two square leagues was made. In 1969, the Millers, a fifth generation California farming family, purchased this property. They also purchased an adjacent parcel which had been part of the original land grant, and reunited the two as Rancho Tepusquet.
