I met then VML brand 10 years ago when I first began this wine tasting adventure. In the wake of COVID, I visited Truett Hurst at their Dry Creek property and was surprised to see a small VML tasting room there. I had no idea that Virginia Lambrix, the owner of VML, was also the winemaker for Truett Hurst. Some of the gang I met at VML years before were at Truett and they were just as genuinely friendly. Since then a big sale and return to family and community has happened along with a move to Healdsburg Square. Now these two brands share a tasting room at the Healdsburg traffic circle a block or so down from the Square. 
I loved the Cab Franc & the White Cu·vée and really interested in tasting again soon after their “rebirth.”
