Silicon Valley executives embrace wine craft, cachet.
Byline: Dean Takahashi
SAN JOSE, Calif. _ I hoofed it through the brisk mountain air at Clos de la Tech, my breath turning to fog as I exhaled. Valeta Massey was strolling on the dirt road, pointing out the sensors on the grape vines that monitor their temperature and water content.
"They've got Cypress chips on them," she said.
Naturally. Massey is married to T.J. Rodgers, chairman and chief executive officer of Cypress Semiconductor. She worked with him as an engineer until 2000, when she quit to work on their winery and three vineyards in the Santa Cruz Mountains. As we pass the vines on the steep hillside, she notes that Rodgers is so involved in his winery project that he designed a custom tractor with hydraulic legs to move up and down the hill.
She takes me into a big cave in the side of the mountain where the wine vats are. Down below, I see the town of La Honda in the valley, where residents say they've heard or felt the dynamite blasts that made the caves.
