About Theo-patra and Theopolis Vineyards
Theo-patra adopted her greek name while pledging Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. at Spellman College. A senior partner and trial lawyer at the Littler law firm, her passion for wine began upon her arrival to San Francisco from Texas in 1987. This led her to take several viticulture classes at UC Davis, before deciding to develop her own small-lot vineyard and hand-craft winery, located in California’s prestigious Yorkville Highlands of the Anderson Valley. Established in 2003, Theopolis Vineyards received a rating of 94-96, a spectacular showing for the vintner’s first harvest in 2006.
