Editorial profile
Simi Winery was founded in San Francisco in 1876 by Italian brothers Giuseppe and Pietro Simi, who relocated to Healdsburg, Sonoma County, in 1881; it was one of the few California wineries to survive Prohibition, keeping wine in inventory through 1920-1933 for sale when it ended. The winery holds roughly 600 acres of Bordeaux varieties in Alexander Valley and a 120-acre Chardonnay vineyard in Russian River Valley.
It has changed hands several times, most recently passing from LVMH to Constellation Brands in 1999 and now sitting within Icon Estates, Constellation's luxury-wine subsidiary. Its live site is fully blocked to automated fetches (a captcha wall on every page, including the homepage), so this profile relies on Wikipedia's account of the winery rather than the producer's own pages; the four core wines named there are Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot.
