This episode was filmed on September 29, 2025, just weeks before Claude's passing. We are deeply honored to share his story — his family's incredible journey, the history behind the D'Ellena winery, and the legacy that shaped generations.

Claude welcomed us into a world built on grit, craftsmanship, and heart. As National CORE becomes the new steward of this historic land, we remain committed to preserving the D'Ellena legacy and everything it represents.

Thank you, Claude, for trusting us with your story. Your family's legacy will continue to inspire everyone who steps foot on the property.
