Sebastiani’s first century in Sonoma winemaking began when Samuele (pictured right) emigrated from the Tuscany region of Italy in 1895 and started Sebastiani nine years later. A stonemason by trade, he quarry-mined the Sonoma hills for cobblestones that were used to build the streets of San Francisco. He worked long hours and saved carefully to buy land in Sonoma County, from which he would make wine for the Sonoma community and San Francisco’s restaurants.The winery was the only one in Sonoma County to continue operations through Prohibition, making a small amount of sacramental and medicinal wines. It has been joked, and perhaps with some grain of truth, that during this time there was a resurgence of people becoming very religious.

For over fifty years, the Manfredini family has been cultivating and selling the finest mushrooms available in the industry. Growing quality mushrooms began with my father, Frank, who started a small growing operation in Landenberg, PA, in 1946. In 1948, after my graduation, I followed in my father's footsteps, joining the family business. Originally named "Frank Manfredini and Son", I had a much greater vision, and in the early 1980's, the company was renamed "Manfredini Enterprises Inc". In the early 1990's, we constructed a new office/warehouse facility on the original family homestead. Exciting new lines of produce were added to our full line of mushrooms. Spring mix, spinach, and sprouts are just a few of the items that are now handled and distributed daily along with our mushrooms. In 1997, The Manfredini Team welcomed my son, Dominic J., to the staff to assist in the ever-growing company, adding the third generation of Manfredini's. Today we employ over forty people and continue to expand our product line and distribution range across the United States. Despite all our growth and success, we haven't lost sight of consistently delivering the finest quality and service possible to our customers. We are very proud of our accomplishments, and we believe that Frank would be too.

Diedrich Coffee, Inc was the sort of start for which adventure stories are known and loved. German-born Charlotte Diedrich inherited a coffee plantation in Costa Rica in 1916. Against all odds, she made a success of it. Her son Carl later expanded the business by adding a second plantation in Antigua, Guatemala. From there, he personally transported hand-selected Arabica beans in his VW van to Orange County, giving Californians their first taste of true single origin specialty coffee. Many things have changed since Carl’s bean-hauling days, but our passionate pursuit of the world’s finest coffee remains. With exquisite single origin and exotic blends, each cup lets you experience the very best of the world’s great coffee growing regions, from the Americas, Africa and Indonesia. These are available in offices, restaurants, large and small retail shops, and online, making Diedrich Coffee, Inc. one of the largest specialty coffee roasters in the Western U.S.
