We stopped by their Hilltop Concert Series last Saturday and was reminded by the soulful songs of Bill Welles how lucky we are to have a healthy and vibrant local music scene with some incredible performers. We are also blessed to have beautiful, peaceful and relaxing venues such as Brice Station to enjoy an evening out. There concert series continues on with the Little Fuller Band on June 25th, The Hot Dark on July 2nd, Patrice Pike on July 23rd. From July 29th to August 27th it is Shakespeare&#8217;s As You Like It&#8221; on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.

We were convinced we could \u00a0grow wine grapes at this elevation. so friends and neighbors helped plant 600 Cabernet Sauvignon -1993.<\/p>\n<p>In 1994 we added another acre of Cabernet Franc and our first planting of Merlot 1998 We added another 4 acres Cabernet Sauvignon and another acre of Merlot. Those first years we sold the grapes to local wineries and 2 wineries in the Napa Valley.\u00a0 After winning a number of top awards for our homemade wine we decided in 2001 to take the leap into commercial wine making.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid__item six-twelfths palm-one-whole \">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bricestation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/vy1-e1442300023656.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-859 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bricestation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/vy1-1024x679.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"679\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n<header id=\"post-1863-title\" class=\"article__header  article__header--page two-thirds-height\" data-type=\"image\">\n<div class=\"article__parallax border-waves-bottom border-waves-top\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"article__parallax__img\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bricestation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/mg_0167-copy-2048x1365.jpg\" alt=\"Remembering Robert\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"flexbox\">\n<div class=\"flexbox__item\">\n<hgroup class=\"article__headline\">\n<h1 class=\"headline__primary\">REMEMBERING ROBERT<\/h1>\n<\/hgroup>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n<article id=\"post-1863\" class=\"article--page article--main article--subpage post-1863 page type-page status-publish has-post-thumbnail hentry\">\n<section class=\"article__content\">\n<div class=\"container\">\n<section class=\"page__content  js-post-gallery  cf\">\n<div class=\"pixcode  pixcode--grid  grid  \">\n<div class=\"grid__item six-twelfths palm-one-whole \">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bricestation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/robert-lowell-mast-obituary.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1866\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bricestation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/robert-lowell-mast-obituary.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" srcset=\"\/\/www.bricestation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/robert-lowell-mast-obituary.jpg 3744w, \/\/www.bricestation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/robert-lowell-mast-obituary-200x300.jpg 200w, \/\/www.bricestation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/robert-lowell-mast-obituary-768x1152.jpg 768w, \/\/www.bricestation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/robert-lowell-mast-obituary-683x1024.jpg 683w, \/\/www.bricestation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/robert-lowell-mast-obituary-1200x1800.jpg 1200w, \/\/www.bricestation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/robert-lowell-mast-obituary-900x1350.jpg 900w, \/\/www.bricestation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/robert-lowell-mast-obituary-400x600.jpg 400w\" width=\"500\" height=\"750\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid__item six-twelfths palm-one-whole \">\n<h2>ROBERT LOWELL MAST<\/h2>\n<hr class=\"pixcode  pixcode--separator  separator separator--line\" \/>\n<p>December 6, 1990 \u2013 May 13, 2016Born in San Andreas, California and growing up in the foothills, Robbie loved to explore the outdoors. Whether roaming the family ranch, ski instructing at Bear Valley, or intrepidly hiking the<br \/>\nUtica flume his sense of adventure was never quenched.<\/p>\n<p>Robbie was an accomplished student, attending Avery Middle School, Bret Harte Union High School and Sonoma State University. While at Avery, Robbie\u2019s natural leadership skills shone brightly<br \/>\nas an honor roll student, as the first sixth grade student to be elected to student council and as the school\u2019s chosen representative at the Junior National Young Leaders\u2019 Conference in Washington D.C. In 2008,<br \/>\nhe represented Bret Harte at The American Legion California Golden Boys\u2019 State. He was an imaginative visual artist and instinctive theatrical performer as evident from his local fair ribbons and countless playbills.<br \/>\nHe honed his artistic skills with aplomb in graphic design and in numerous building projects.<\/p>\n<p>Robbie spent memorable summers as a camper and counselor at Hidden Valley Camp in Maine where he fostered deep connections. Family travel to Hong Kong and Europe were modest beginnings to Robbie\u2019s continuous explorations, most notably, his twenty-two month bicycle trip, which began in New Zealand and wound through Thailand, Singapore, Istanbul, Bulgaria, Italy, and France before culminating in England at Embercombe,<br \/>\na self-sustaining farm and spiritual center. During his travels, he volunteered, worked on vineyards, and<br \/>\nmade countless friends.<\/p>\n<p>When Robbie returned home in 2014, he became instrumental in the expansion of the businesses at<br \/>\nBrice Station with visionary plans for their future. Working with his family and friends, he took a major leadership role in expanding the performance venue for concerts and Shakespeare productions, heading design and marketing developments, implementing sustainable farming practices, building a variety of inventive structures and involving himself in all aspects of winemaking. Life on the property will never be the same without<br \/>\nRobbie\u2019s physical presence, though his spirit can be recognized throughout his family home.<\/p>\n<p>Robbie will be remembered as a skilled woodsman, a creative chef, gifted artist, actor, and designer, accomplished farmer, fervent builder, and an enthusiastic adventurer. He was an ever-loyal son to Stuart and Dolores, Leda\u2019s cherished brother, Brittany\u2019s loving partner, a treasured grandson, nephew, and cousin, a life-long friend to an expansive circle of friends. He made an incomparable impact on the world around him.
