In 2001 the wineries lease expired and the brand was purchased by the Nevada County Wine Guild with production moving to a
winery in Collegeville CA. The style of production has been maintained with fresh, youthful wines crafted to be easily drinkable
and sold nationally in the under $10 price range.
Tony Norskog, owner and winemaker of both the Orleans Hill Winery and Nevada County Wine Guild brands graduated
from UC Davis in the mid-70’s with a degree in Fermentation Sciences. He has worked a harvest in Bordeaux France, the
Napa Valley and Santa Maria and has spent the last 20 years working in the Foothills of the Sierra Nevada. Organically growing
grapes in Nevada County lead naturally to the pursuit of making fine wines with healthfulness on an equal footing with quality .
