Lanny Replogle taught Organic Chemistry at San Jose State for 31 years. But that's not why he loves winemaking. He enjoyed the creativity!
After many years of making wine at home, Lanny and his wife, Fran, decided to start a real winery. In 1976 they started Ventana (Spanish for window) Winery in Pleasanton that morphed into Fenestra (Latin for window) Winery a few years later, and relocated to the current beautiful location in Livermore. Fenestra and the Replogle family are now celebrating their 50th year of making world class wines. Fenestra Winery specializes in classically balanced, award-winning wines from primarily Livermore Valley grapes. Livermore Valley’s first boutique winery, Fenestra Winery has celebrated many years of fine wines.
