The Family

THE MARSTON FAMILY

		Michael & Alexandra Marston When Michael and Alexandra Marston first became involved with the (then) Menasco Ranch in 1969, it was not long after their marriage. Over the years they have energetically maintained and enhanced the property, lending their deep understanding and love of the vineyard to echo in its wines. Michael and Alexandra are true stewards of the land having donated over 200 acres to conservation and “forever wild”.
		Elizabeth Marston Leahy & James Leahy Elizabeth manages the winery operations, and revels in the opportunity to share her love of the property with winery guests. Her fondest memories date back to harvests as a little girl in the former horse barn, which also served as the rustic winery in the early days. Prior to joining the family business, Elizabeth spent several years in London and New York City studying Classics and began her professional career in book publishing. Given her background, Elizabeth truly believes that literature and wine are two of life’s greatest pleasures. James is delighted to assist Elizabeth on all winery matters, but prefers to be in the vineyard studying various vineyard practices and lending a hand in the cellar.
		John & Tanya Marston John grew up spending his summers at the vineyard, and at an early age realized his passion for wine. Over the years his devotion to wine has developed into a most discerning palate, which has been vital to the evolution of the family business. John is a practicing attorney in San Francisco, but is always quick to lend his legal expertise, vast knowledge of wine, and great sense of humor. Tanya and John were married on a beautiful June day at the vineyard in 2007. Tanya recently completed the UC Davis Graduate School of Management program, where she was the Co-President of the Wine Business Consulting Group. Tanya is an integral part of the ongoing operations with the family business.
		Tucker Marston Leahy Tucker is the newest addition to Marston Family Vineyard, and is proud to be the official greeter for winery guests. His favorite past times include sprinting down vineyard rows, chasing the wild turkeys and sneaking the occasional grape cluster.
