WINE MAKING IN CALIFORNIA. 243 



would lead too far if I enumerated all the individual enter- 

 terprises in the State. There are so many that this would be 

 an endless task. We have enterprising wine men in all sec- 

 tions of the State, and it would seem next to impossible to 

 enumerate them all. 



But it would not be fair to forget our dealers, who have 

 done so much to find and open a market for our wines. 

 Among those who were among the first growers of grapes, as 

 well as dealing in wines, I will name our departed friend 

 Chas. Kohler, who started the oldest winery in Los Angeles, 

 and was one of the first to enter the markets. J. Gundlach, 

 Julius Dresel, and Chas. Krug all entered the market at an 

 early day, and also contributed greatly, by their importation 

 of choice foreign varieties, to raise the quality of our product. 



Nor should Col. Agaston Haraszthy and his son Arpad, be 

 forgotten. Col. Haraszthy imported perhaps the largest col- 

 lection of foreign vines into the State at an early day, and the 

 industry is greatly indebted to his efforts. Mr. Crabb has 

 opened quite a large Eastern trade, and many of our large 

 growers are following these examples. Dreyfuss & Co. have 

 large vineyards and wineries near Anaheim, and also one of 

 the largest wine houses in San Francisco. G. Eschelbach, 

 near Santa Ana, is a large grower and dealer, so are J. de 

 Turk at Santa Rosa, J. L. Rose, and the San Gabriel 

 Wine Co. 



Of those who have only dealt in wines, without producing 

 them, perhaps S. Lachman & Co. of San Francisco, are the 

 most prominent. Their new wine house on Brannan Street 

 is a monster institution, will easily store a million gallons, 

 and is a lasting monument to its builder, Mr. S. Lachman. 

 It combines great durability, immense storage capacity, and 

 ventilation with convenience for working and handling all 

 kinds of wine, which can hardly be excelled anywhere. 



I have tried to give a faint outline of the individual enter-
