The John Lee Webber House, also known as "The Webber Place", in Yountville, California, was built around 1859. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.It is a two-story wood frame farmhouse which was built before 1859. It was built in simplified, vernacular Greek Revival style. The house was originally built as a one-and-a-half-story clapboarded farmhouse, with a gable roof and a central brick chimney, and was located on the Finnell Ranch, almost a mile east of its current location in downtown Yountville. It had a one-story rear addition which served as a kitchen. The house was moved to the current location in the 1860s. The house was expanded in 1907-08 by the Webber family, at which time it was given its current appearance. The front entrance of the farmhouse, in the non-gable facade now facing southeast, remained as the main entrance in 1980.The 1907-08 renovation added the gabled second-story room cantilevered over the front porch, with large window facing southeast. It also added/expanded to the northwest (apparently, while "north" is stated), forming a wing making an "L" with the original house. This included an indoor bathroom beyond the kitchen, and then an enclosed back porch. It had a shingle-sided second story with bedrooms having tongue-and-groove panelling. The first floor of the renovated house had wall-papered rooms, and consisted of kitchen, dining room, and front and back parlors.In 1980, doublehung sash windows survived in the original house and in the rear extension, while some second-story windows had been replaced by vertical casement windows.A second contributing building is a shiplap-sided gabled two-story carriage house/barn (photo #4), opening onto Webber Avenue, which was built in 1905. It held two horses, a cow, a buggy, and a surrey. It had sliding frame double-doors, and a rectangular door and square windows above in the gable end. As of 1980 the barn was unaltered, and was used for storage. In 2019, the carriage house still exists, although it appears to have been renovated/modified. Since 1980, the property has become the Lavender Bed and Breakfast, and additional buildings have been constructed in the former yard-spaces.The property is located at 2020 Webber Ave. in Yountville, on the north corner of Webber Ave. and Jefferson St. Apparently there has been a street renumbering; the National Register documentation states it is located at 6610 Webber Ave.

Spoto Family Wines is an ultra-boutique winery in Sacramento, California that is owned and operated by the Spoto Family. The winemaker, Stuart Spoto, makes Bordeaux-style blends with grapes from the Oakville Station (part of the historic To Kalon vineyard) in Oakville (the heart of the Napa Valley). Stuart's grandfather, Enrico Rodolfo Spoto, Sr., immigrated to the United States on December 1, 1913 from Catania, Sicily at the age of 15. He moved to California, where he started a family and ran a fruit and nut tree nursery. His son, Henry Spoto, Jr., a first generation Italian-American, taught himself to make wine. At the age of 16, Henry's son Stuart expressed an interest in the process. Henry, at the time a Cal-Trans appraiser, made wine only in his spare time. Over time, Henry began spending more time making wine and seeking advice from the experts at the University of California at Davis' Viticulture and Enology Department. In the early years, Henry and Stuart learned the techniques and chemistry necessary to make good wines. Stuart later attended the University of California at Davis and studied chemical and civil engineering. Winemaking became a hobby for both men, and in 2000, they began creating their own individual vintages. In 2004, Stuart built and licensed the first bonded winery in a residential neighborhood in Sacramento County. This allowed Stuart to sell his wines. By 2010, Stuart took the wine business on full-time. In November 2010 Spoto Family Wines was invited to be a member of the Oakville Wine Growers Association which promotes the Oakville AVA as the premier Cabernet region in the US. A year later Spoto Family Wines was granted membership into the Napa Valley Vintners, an organization that promotes the wines from the Napa Valley region.The whole family is involved with the winery. Stuart's wife Christy is an integral part of the day-to-day operations and production at the winery. Stuart's oldest daughter, Arianna, graduated in 2011 from California Polytechnic University at San Luis Obispo with a degree in wine and viticulture. She has worked with the wine distribution, and is currently working in the industry in Napa Valley and Australia. His youngest daughter, Alexi, manages the winery's public relations and social media accounts. Spoto Family Wines were served at two major wine events in 2012: The Napa Valley Auction where Spoto Family Wines was part of a live auction item raising $150k for charity and a Taste of Oakville at Carnegie Hall where Spoto poured his wines in the historic Carnegie Hall in New York. Many articles in both local and national publications have been written regarding Spoto Family Wines and the Spoto family: June 2003 Wine Spectator - "Grapes for Glory" May 2007 Sacramento Bee - "Winery Feels Right at Home" Nov 2009 Sacramento Magazine - "The Winemaker Nextdoor" April 2011 Sacramento Bee - "Spoto Surprises At Elite Tasting" Sept/Oct 2011 Imbibe Magazine - "Garage Winemaking Goes Ligit" March 2012 Sacramento Bee - "Arden Oaks' Spoto Expanding"
