The name “Brookdale” evokes memories of a horse farm in New Jersey where the Seitz family was raised. This original farm has since transformed into a community college and a state park, yet it still retains the name Brookdale. Additionally, Brookdale Farm can now be found in Kentucky, where another family member established a renowned racehorse breeding farm in 1983. The author also comes from a family that raised horses throughout their childhood and into adulthood. For these reasons, a horse is featured prominently on the Brookdale wine label, connecting the family’s rich history.
