自我介绍

Thank you for your interest in RedSmith Ranch! We would like to introduce ourselves and tell you about our Ranch Del Smith and Jennifer Redmond partnered up to acquire the Ranch. Del is a Building Contractor. He grew up in Lodi and, in 1983, founded, developed and operated Wine and Rose Hotel and Restaurant (in Lodi) for 20 years. Del later moved on to build in the SF bay area. Del has never lost his passion for hospitality and taking care of guests. Jennifer is an attorney, partner with Sheppard Mullen law firm. She has a passion for interior design and throughout the years she has completely restored and refurbished several amazing San Francisco homes. Together we make a great team. We love living in San Francisco, and like to get out of the city to hike, bike and explore. We thought it would be fun to combine our talents and find a place in the countryside that we could fix-up and enjoy with our family and friends. And find some sunshine! We wanted a home with character, where we could create a wonderful and warm experience to share with our guests. We looked north to Sonoma, South to Carmel, and then visited the Sierra foothills near the Mokelumne River, where we realized the Lodi Wine Region had everything we were looking for. And it just happens to be Del’s hometown! After searching for months, we came upon the Ranch. It is isolated in the middle of hundreds of acres of vineyards. The home has great character, wonderful light, spacious rooms, established trees and gardens, and is perfect for what we wanted to create. There is even a winery across the road. We closed escrow in late June 2019 and spent the rest of 2019 updating, modernizing, and refurbishing the interior. While Del was working on the physical elements of the house, Jennifer was busy with interior design and purchasing high-end furnishings on Craigslist, which is another chapter of interesting stories. The interior is now complete. The décor is modern rustic. It’s also a “Smart House,” with lighting control, air control, music, door locks, site security, sprinklers, etc. Throughout the winter 2019/20 we will continue to add improvements to the exterior and gardens. We expect to be complete by May 2020 with Bocce Court, vegetable gardens, alfresco dining area trellis, and more. When you visit, you will see the that potential is unlimited! We’d love to hear your suggestions and ideas for further improvements. Once we get RedSmith Ranch fully up and running, we will have a number of experiences to offer our guests, which may include early morning vineyard/orchard tour with an old- farmer, paint classes, gardening classes, farm to table cooking classes, yoga and mindfulness, Indian camp and bug science for kids, crafts for kids, base camp for Sierra foothill adventures (kayaking, hiking and cycling), tours of 80 plus nearby wineries, etc. That’s our story! We acquired this amazing project to share with you, your family and your friends! Sincerely, Del and Jennifer
