Producer Information

Brookdale Vineyards is a well-established and small Napa Valley producer; they are under the radar due to their very limited production and historical lack of a tasting room. Brookdale is originally rooted in Brookdale Vineyard Management Company, founded by viticulturist Mike Seitz (1968-2003) in 2000. Tragically he died in a forklift related farming accident at a vineyard in the southern part of Napa Valley. His wife and owner of Brookdale, Kristi Seitz Banducci (who we originally met with) has dedicated all vintages of Brookdale to his memory. Mike would have been 50 years old in 2018. Brookdale is named after Brookdale Farm, a former prominent thoroughbred breeding and training farm near Lincroft, New Jersey about 90 a minute drive south of New York City (depending on traffic) where Mikes uncle Fred Seitz was raised. Brookdale Farm was founded by David Dunham Withers in 1872. Withers became wealthy through his cotton business in New Orleans and later pursed shipping opportunities and his passion for horses. At its peak, Brookdale employed some 100 people on its 800+ acres. A previous farm, Thomas Lloyd Farm was established here in the 1780s. Brookdale produced some well-known racing horses including its most famous filly, Regret who won the Kentucky Derby in 1915.
