Correspondent Tom Wilmer reports from Suisun Valley wine region on the outskirts of Fairfield, California where he visits with the owner of Wooden Valley Winery, Ron Lanza.

When the Lanza family opened their Wooden Valley Winery on the heels of the Great Depression 85 years ago, there were just two wineries in the entire Suisun Valley. Join the conversation with Ron Lanza to discover the family’s history in the Valley and the array of their exceptional wines.
