"Today is part of yesterday, and the foundation of tomorrow."
André Tchelistcheff, 1975

Welcome to the Early California Wine Trade Archive website which was created to raise interest in the establishment of a California wine trade archive and museum, where artifacts from pre-Prohibition California can be collected, archived, preserved and exhibited to educate, provide research material, and to entertain all who are interested. The images on this website tangibly connect us to the golden years of California's viticultural history, and illustrate the importance of preserving such artifacts for many generations to come.

The Slide Show Gallery link will take you
through a tour of the early California wine trade
in California, with many examples from the
pre-Prohibition industry. Take a look!

Enjoy the website, and please consider
joining us in this quest.
