B. AMERICAN WINE INDUSTRY HALL OF FAME
Back in January 2007, our Founder, John M. Olney, was selected as one of "the top wine writer's " in the USA by the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) and was invited to participate alongwith the others in selecting the first annual inductees to CIA's California Vintner's Hall of Fame located at its "Greystone" campus in St. Helena, California. The following year, Mr. Olney was selected to participate on the Nominating Committee which reviews candidate and develops the list of about 30 plus most deserving candidates from which the wine writers will vote and select seven to ten new inductees to the Hall of Fame.

Mr. Olney recognized that the CIA project was certainly valid but he wondered about recognition of all those wine growers, producers, distributors, marketers and writers that helped to develop the American Wine Industry (AWI) well before california even became the star that is now. After much research, he concluded that no national Hall of Fame (HOF) existed, rather individual states and organizations bestowed such recognition on individuals in the industry, but only within their locality. At that point, Mr. Olney undertook the ambitious and monumental step to esign and implement a national American Wine Industry recognition program.

4. Our Wine Label Poster-Maps
During the mid through late 1980s, Mr. Olney published two posters containing Napa Valley wine labels. About 50% of the wineries displayed on the 1st poster-map no longer exist because they went out of business or were purchased by others and renamed. Approximately 25% met the same fate on the 2nd poster-map.
