The Smothers Remick Ridge Vineyards are the best kept secret in Sonoma Valley. Grapes grown to perfection for over twenty years. Consumed only by people who know good wine. Some secrets, and grapes, are worth talking about.
Tommy Smothers, owner of Remick Ridge Vineyards and Smothers Winery, is proud of the fine wines produced at his ranch in Kenwood, California.

Dick Smothers originally purchased property in the Santa Cruz area in 1974 and three years later the Smothers Winery produced its first wine.

“My grandfather, Ed Remick, and I looked for property together,” Tom explains. “We looked in Napa, we looked everywhere. When we looked at this place in the hills of Sonoma Valley, Grandpa stuck out a finger and said, ‘This is it! This is it!’”

Originally the winery was called Smothers Brothers, but I changed the name to Remick Ridge because when people heard Smothers Brothers wine, they thought something like Milton Berle Fine Wine or Larry, Curly and Mo Vineyards,” Tom explains.

Established in 1977, Remick Ridge is a highly regarded vineyard planted with 50 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon.

In 1985, Tom built a tasting room in Kenwood on Highway 12, which now houses six small premium Sonoma Valley wineries and is called The Wine Room.

Tommy Smothers says, “Making wine is so close to show business. Wine like comedy, is subjective. Either people like your wine—or your songs, or your comedy—or they don’t. Each is a creative process and you’re only as good as your last effort.”
