However, vast majority of wineries went out of business, and many former vineyards were converted to other crops. Tragically, exceptional terroir enjoyed by Napa Valley Wineries was not widely utilized during these years.

In years immediately following repeal of Prohibition, very little quality wine was produced in Napa Valley. Although some Rutherford Wineries, most notably Inglenook, continued to make great wines, vast majority of California wine was either very alcoholic, or undistinguished and cheap.

Thankfully, embers of exellennce were not entirely extinguished. During this era, Andre Tchelistcheff made massive breakthroughs in science of qaulity wines at BV Winery.

Originally from Russia, Tchelistcheff realized that unsanitary practices were adversely affecting wine production. He was extremely influential, and did much to increase interest in high quality wine from Napa Valley Wineries.

Tchelistcheff's innovations helped to bring on a renaissance in high-quality wine making in Napa Valley. In 1961, Joseph heitz opened first Post-Prohibition Napa Valley Winery.

Five years later, Robert Mondavi split from his family at Charles Krug and started his own winery in Oakville. Many other Napa Valley Wineries were established in following years with philosophy of making high-quality wines.

The area increasingly became a tourist destination, and people from all over world became interested in visiting rising star of California Wine Industry.
