Brian Fleury fell in love with wine collecting and then wine making. Self-taught with the help of mentors, he now owns 50 acres spanning 3 vineyards in 3 appellations and at 3 elevations: Rutherford, St Helena, and Howell Mountain. The small Rutherford facility produces and sells about 4,000 cases a year by winery sales alone (without the use of distributors). The Fleury flagship wine is "Passionne", which is a Bordeaux style blend that is always the first to sell out.
