When volcanoes last erupted in Lake County, people had just migrated to this region. That was 11,000 years ago. Still, in geological time, that is recent. The area around Mount Konocti bears evidence of this volcanic activity, including its famous red soil and ubiquitous obsidian rock. Today, those rocks gleam in the sun, their shiny silica surfaces reflecting their origin – and lend their name to the business Peter Molnar helped build alongside partner Michael Terrien, brother Arpad, and their family: Obsidian Ridge Vineyards.
Michael Noggle is an award-winning winemaker with over three decades of expertise in grape cultivation and wine production. His journey began at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, where he initially pursued a career as a large animal veterinarian, earning a Bachelor's Degree in Animal Sciences and a Master's Degree in General Agricultural Sciences. While awaiting admission to the School of Veterinary Medicine at UC Davis, he uncovered a deep-seated passion for viticulture. This revelation led him to shift his academic focus, culminating in a degree in Viticulture and Enology from Napa Valley College. Today, Michael channels his enduring passion into crafting exceptional hand-made Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc wines.
Wines are made in the vineyard, and harvest should take place at the perfect moment – not when dictated by a schedule” is Greg’s approach to his winemaking. In the vineyard, he harvests the grapes at the peak of fruit flavor development. In the winery, he uses boutique winemaking techniques and early bottling to preserve the flavors. His techniques allow him to control the quality, bringing out the grapes’ superior characteristics. The results are excellent Zinfandel, Syrah, Grenache, Cabernet, Viognier, Sauvignon blanc, and Riesling.
