In 1972, Felipe came from Jalisco, Mexico, into the United States. A friend who lived in the valley had told Felipe there might be some jobs with the newly formed Santa Ynez Grape Growers, an association of farmers that included Brooks and Kate Firestone. Felipe still remembers the long hot days he spent planting grapes during those first years, and how Kate would often appear in the fields late in the afternoon with a tray of cold drinks. Besides grape planting, during his “off hours” Felipe worked whatever odd jobs he could find, including mowing the lawn at the residence of the owner of La Zaca.
