Book Title: Historical And Descriptive Sketch Of Sonoma County, California

GLEN ELLEN.

   This is a post-office midway between Santa Rosa and the town of Sonoma;
Captain Justi is postmaster. It is only a mail station, but is surrounded by
some of the most experienced vine-growers in the county,—among them Colonel C.V.
Stuart, whose handsome residence is the seat of a liberal hospitality. His
vineyard cannot be surpassed for careful culture and its varieties of foreign
and domestic vines. Here there is also the residence of the Hon. J. B. Warfield,
one of the most successful vineculturalists of Sonoma. There are many other
large vineyard proprietors in this neighborhood, whose names we have not the
space to mention. A radius of six miles, with Glen Ellen for a center, would, in
the opinion of many, include the finest grape-growing section in the State of
California.
