Napa's Goosecross Cellars Sold to Coors Family's Investment Group
May 17, 2013 6(WineSpectator) - Golden Equity Investments, a Colorado-based investment firm owned by members of the Coors brewing family, is hoping to strike gold with wine. The company, which has no association with the brewery, is purchasing Goosecross Cellars, a boutique winery located in the heart of Napa Valley’s wine country. The sale includes the Yountville winery, tasting room and Tudor-style home, and 9 acres of vineyards planted to Bordeaux varieties. The sales price was not disclosed.
The Gorsuch family bought the property in the 1970s and planted grapes. In 1985, Geoff Gorsuch, his wife, Karen, and partners David and Colleen Topper established Goosecross Cellars. Today it makes wines from a variety of grapes, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with the majority of the fruit coming from Napa Valley. Goosecross sells most of its wines through direct-to-consumer sales and its wine club.
