Longtime friends Todd Williams and Rodney Strong created Toad Hollow Vineyards when they released their first vintage of Chardonnay in 1994.

Frankie has maintained the founder's promise to deliver delicious varietal wines everyone can afford. Toad Hollow offers: a Mendocino County unoaked Chardonnay, a Russian River Pinot Noir and Merlot, a Sonoma Country Dry Rosé of Pinot Noir (Eye of the Toad), a Lodi AVA Cabernet Sauvignon, and two French sparkling wines. Whimsical labels featuring the beloved "Toad" character are symbolic of the founder's insistence that fun be at the brand's core.
