Murphy Goode Winery

Take the expertise of two innovative grape growers and a leading marketer; blend with a mutual love of the wine industry; balance with humor and spirited hard work — this is the core of Murphy-Goode Winery. Twenty years ago, Tim Murphy, Dale Goode and Dave Ready shared a vision: grow distinctive grapes, produce delicious wine, have fun and make friends in the process. They founded their three-family partnership in 1985 and launched the brand with two wines: estate grown Fumé Blanc and Chardonnay. Tim, Dale and Dave, along with their families, never looked back.

Why would successful growers venture into the wine business? “Tim and I agreed that good farming does not stop at the crusher,” Dale explained. “We chose to make the best possible wine, to follow the complete cycle from bud break to the dinner table.”

In the beginning, only the Murphy family’s ranch and the Murphy-Goode Vineyard, a joint venture between Tim and Dale, provided the grapes. Over the years, fueled by the partners’ enthusiasm and market demand, Murphy-Goode Winery steadily increased production, expanding the winery capacity and augmenting the harvest with fruit from the winery’s “grower partners,” local farmers and neighbors who shared the Murphy-Goode vision.

Initially the partners custom-crushed their grapes at a neighboring winery; consultant Merry Edwards guided the winemaking. After constructing a modest production facility on Tim Murphy’s Alexander Valley ranch in 1987, they hired Winemaker Christina Benz. Chris made fifteen vintages of Murphy-Goode wine before turning the winemaking over to David Ready Jr., her protégé, in 2001.
