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

Le Chapon Fin still exists today as does the incredible wine cellar which they do tours of! We found a little blurb about the restaurants history on the website: "Immediately after the French Revolution part of the central area of Bordeaux was rebuilt. New streets radiated out from a market square. In 1825 Messrs Chantal and Despirou opened a restaurant and wine merchant's shop at 7 Rue Montesquieu next to the Théâtre Français. "Le Chapon Fin" quickly became a popular address. . Chapon Fin was frequented by a succession of kings: Alfonso XIII of Spain one of the restaurant's most faithful customers who had his own wine cellar Manuel II of Portugal the Sultan of Morocco Queen Ranavalona of Madagascar and the Prince of Wales later Edward VII. The Chapon Fin was also a favorite with artists such as Sarah Bernhardt Yvette Guilbert and Toulouse Lautrec and politicians such as Aristide Briand who adored the lamprey in red wine and George Clemenceau."
