The formidable and Spanish-sounding Domecq was actually founded in Spain by the Irishman, Patrick Murphy. Domecq international headquarters can be found in the old part of Jemez, Spain hidden behind long, whitewashed walls protecting the vaulted bodegas of the great sherry houses, high roofed, cool and classic buildings where row after row of tanks hold maturing sherry. This company is the driving force behind the modernization of winemaking and viticulture throughout Spain and is partly responsible for the new wave of world class Spanish wines. Pedro Domecq also produces El Presidente Brandy, Blue Rhin Lieberaumilch, Champagne Mumm Cordon Rouge, Spanish and Argentine wines at various locations around the world.

Bibayoff Vineyard and Winery
In 1907, a group of Russian Christians known as The Molokans settled the Valle de Guadalupe They first introduced grapes into our lush valley on a large scale.
The original Spanish Missionaries had planted some small vineyards near the local mission prior to 1907 but never really developed the full potential of the valley. Some members of the Molokan Russian community had gained experience growing grapes in Europe so they put their skills to work developing our grape producing region. Several important varieties of table and other grapes were grown such as: Emperor, Ribbier, Thompson (seedless), Flame, Tokay, and White Muscatel.
