Mario Lanza joined Wooden Valley Winery as a partner shortly after its founding in 1932 and took over full ownership in 1955. After three generations, the Lanza family still owns the winery, and Mario's descendants continue a tradition of fine wine making today using grapes from their own vineyard as well as grapes from other vineyards in the Suisun Valley. They continue to win gold medals with their estate-bottled Merlot wines.

Dean and Bunny Frisbie bought a pear orchard in Suisun Valley in 1985, and learning that the Valley climate is perfect for growing several grape varieties, they replaced their orchard with Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Rhône Valley grape vines. After selling their grapes to various Napa and Sonoma wineries, they felt it was time to make their own wine, so they started Ledgewood Creek Winery, and named it after the creek that meanders along the northern border of their estate, and hired Larry Langbehn, an experienced winemaker in Northern California. Their 2001 harvest led to Ledgewood Creek's first release.

Frank and Liz Vezér in 2001 decided to establish their own wines and produced their first vintage of Zinfandel in the year 2003. They practice the 1938 approach to their wine making, which was born with Frank Vezér’s father, Frank Vezér II, which consists of balancing opposing elements to create wines that are dynamic, complex, and embody classical ideals.
