Saturday, May 10, 2025 – Grand Tasting Reception

Robin Daniel Lail’s heritage began in 1879 with the founding of Inglenook Vineyards by her great–granduncle, the iconic Captain Gustav Niebaum. By the early 1890s, this brilliant man’s obsession for achieving the pinnacle of excellence earned Inglenook wines the status of being considered by many as the finest produced in the country.  

The determination to achieve excellence was carried forward through the decades following Niebaum’s death in 1908, with a crescendo in the thirty years following the repeal of Prohibition under the meticulous and passionate stewardship of John Daniel, Jr., Robin’s father. 

Although Inglenook was sold in 1964, the passion for winemaking did not fade. Robin inherited her father’s respect for tradition and founded Lail Vineyards, along with her daughters Erin and Shannon, in 1995. Today her family honors his legacy with their relentless pursuit to produce wines second to none.
