Compiled by Michael Flagg, Times staff writer
The Huntington Beach Co., a subsidiary of Chevron Corp., said it has purchased the 5,600-acre Gauer Ranch in Sonoma County.
The seller is Edward H. Gauer, former chairman of the Roos-Atkins clothing store chain.
No price was disclosed.
The purchase includes 400 acres of vineyards and a winery called Vinwood Cellars that produces 350,000 cases a year. The oil company unit said it would continue to operate the winery.
Chevron acquired majority interest in the Huntington Beach Co. in 1922. The real estate investment firm became a wholly owned subsidiary in 1987.
