Catherine Elizabeth "Catie" Kunde:
At eleven and in sixth grade, Catie is the proud
owner of Catie's Corner Vineyard. Her Viognier is under contract
to Christopher Creek, Copain, St. Francis and Whetstone wineries. Catie is happy to
read her name on the labels as a vineyard designated Viognier.

Catie's Corner, named for the Kunde's
daughter, was first planted as a
registered rootstock increase block in
1988. The Richter 110 was budded to
Viognier in 1995; the Paulsen 1103
and Oppenheim SO4 was budded to
Pinot Noir in 1996. The Syrah was
dormant vines planted in 2000.
