Petri Wine Company was founded in 1886 by Raffaello Petri in the San Joaquin Valley initially producing their wines only in kegs for bulk local distribution. During the Prohibition the family closed down their wineries and temporarily traded in Italian leathers and cigars later using those profits to expand the wine-making operation by buying competing wineries. In 1935 they began bottling their wines and selling them nationally. In the early 1940s the company was a major sponsor of the popular radio show "The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes." In 1953 Petri was the largest domestic producer of wines in the US. Louis Petri grandson of Raffaello was instrumental in founding Allied Grape Growers - an organization whose main goal was stabilizing grape prices. After a series of mergers and buy-outs Petri Wines ceased to exist in its original form. Browne Vintners Co., Inc. (Sole Agents in U. S. A.); Petri Wine Company hardcover books
654359 leaves enumerating the names of grapes cereal crops and oils and their prices for nearly two centuries. Small folio 273 x 178 mm. 18th-cent. vellum over boards tail of spine defective two of four ties lacking. Burgundy: 1622-1792. A fascinating and rare survival which details the precipitous rise in the prices of Burgundian wine and the emergence of a hierarchy among regions and vintages over a 170-year period. This document consisting of three gatherings 28; 28; 3 leaves bound together and written in several legible hands provides a wealth of information on grain harvests in the region which varied greatly from year to year and indicates years with disastrous harvests. The present manuscript constitutes a unique history of agriculture in Burgundy especially pertaining to the evolving market for Côte de Nuits wine. "Burgundy had no experience like the boomtime of 18th-century Bordeaux. No new wines were invented no new districts planted. The Bordeaux picture is all expansion and creation; the Burgundy one of evolving tastes and techniques of new market forces and overall of slowly progressing definition: a more precise notion of the character style and value of the wine from each corner of the Côte.In the Côte de Nuits the notion of the 'cru' was further advanced.The vineyards were generally less overcrowded and by now planted with cuttings rather than layers; hence more deep-rooting. Increasingly in the 18th century owners of the most prestigious crus selected their best grapes to make separate cuvées the best vat being called the 'tête de cuvée'."-Hugh Johnson Vintage 1989 pp. 267 & 272. The motivation for compiling this record-book may have come from the introduction of a law in 1622 that outlawed the sale of Lyonnais and Beaujolais wines as Burgundian. The records of the first three decades consist mostly of grains and oil from the region but in the early 1670s wines begin to predominate and the lists for each year become increasingly long. It is very likely that at this point landowners would have shifted to using any arable land for vastly more lucrative grapes. By the 1690s dozens of grape varietals are noted from communes such as Auvilliers Les Cailles Chambolle Chorey Comblanchien Corgoloin Côte de Beaune Gilly Magny Saint Georges Saint Julien Les Cailles Vaucrains Pouilly Prissey etc. Prices for wine rose enormously from the 1690s and experienced peaks in 1701 1733 and 1770. Wines are increasingly categorized by the mid-18th century according to vineyard and in some cases cru. The name "de Bays" appears several times in the manuscript and the signature of "de Bays" is found at the end of the year 1771. Very few comparable documents survive and the present manuscript provides a vast amount of data on the prices for wine grapes and grains in the 17th and 18th centuries.
