About this landmark

Plaque text:

Paul Masson Mountain Winery
From the winery that bears the name of Paul Masson, premium wines and champagne have flowed continuously since 1852. Even during Prohibition under a special government license, twice partially destroyed by earthquake and fire, the original sandstone walls still stand. The 12th century Spanish Romanesque portal came around the Horn.
