The winery, which was given the thumbs-up this week by Pleasanton City Council members, is slated for a site near Isabel Avenue in the Ruby Hill area.
Developer Signature Properties will build the winery, which is envisioned as a future storage space and eventual full-service facility. However, it will not include a tasting room, since federal law prohibits vintners from having more than two such rooms. The Wentes already have two tasting rooms.
