Fun Facts: Dancing Hares Winery in Saint Helena, owned by Bob Cook and Paula Brooks, released their first vintage of Mad Hatter in 2006 under the winemaking direction of Andy Erickson. Their efforts to make an elegant, well-balanced Bordeaux blend from vineyards throughout the Napa Valley was lauded and the wine quickly became a cult favorite. The Winery was purchased in early 2016 by Tuck and Boo Beckstoffer with a commitment to not only continue to please established fans around the world, but to take the wine to an even higher level of excellence.
