(Wines&Vines) - It was close to midnight Oct. 8 when Sonia Byck-Barwick went to sleep, ending what had been a busy but normal day during harvest season. 

Her husband, winemaker Dan Barwick, already had gone to bed at the couple’s home in Healdsburg, Calif., because he had to be up early the next day to oversee one of the last remaining picks for Paradise Ridge winery. 

Byck-Barwick’s parents, Walter and Marijke Byck, purchased the 155-acre property initially called Paradise Ranch in 1978. The winery opened in 1994.
