Cenay Wines

A colorful past brings a rich diversity to the Cenay label. The Cenay family were serious about the "Good Life". In the 1800’s, just as California was bitten with gold fever, the family set up shop on the lively waterfront area of Sacramento. Dealers of fine cloth, premium cigars and purveyors of quality food and wine was the Cenay family trade. Coffee, tea and chocolate was selling for twelve and a half cents a pound. Elk or antelope steak sold for twenty-five cents each and the price of a bottle of fine Bordeaux or French champagne, well.., a bit of gold dust from the miners went along way. The Cenays continued the accoutrements of the good life into the 1920’s. With the correct password you would be allowed to pass through to the speakeasy out the back of the store. A full glass and a smile was the trademark for a patron of the store. That century old tradition is renewed, providing quality and enhancing your life with the exceptional wines provided under the Cenay family label. Today the family spirit lives on through Linda Rowland, a descendant of the Cenay family. Click here to see Cenay Releases Also be sure to learn about...
