The Ramey Family together with St. Innocent Winery own and operate Zenith Vineyard.  We purchased the property in 2002 from Pat O’Connor, the founder of O’Connor Vineyards as it was then known.  We owe a great debt of gratitude to Pat (and Patti who sadly passed away in 2002, before we could meet).  The O’Connor family acted as great stewards of the land and we strive to continue their stewardship. 

Tim, by day, a securities analyst covering the food and beverage sector, manages the vineyard with help from our farm manager Pedro Martinez who has been with the vineyard for 14 years.  We are proud to be entrusted with such a lovely part of the earth and pledge to think of the long-term benefit of the land in everything we do.  We have planted 32 acres since we purchased the vineyard and our goal is to help the vineyard achieve great balance, to provide “beautiful origins” for the fruit that becomes the wine. 

Kari manages the wedding and events business and takes care of the horses (Razzle B. Dazzle, Hickory and Aiden) with the help of Miranda, age 12.  Daughter Guenevere is studying in France and Daughter Charlotte was married on the vineyard to Caleb Whitmore on August 18^th.  They live in Seattle and Charlotte is a registered nurse while Caleb is a master of website search and design. 

We strive for excellence in the vineyard and while that goal is elusive we are blessed with a wonderful site, the perfect climate for Pinot Noir and willing and able bodies to help make it all happen.
