The choked flow of gases is useful in many engineering applications because the mass flow rate is independent of the downstream pressure, and depends only on the temperature and pressure and hence the density of the gas on the upstream side of the restriction.
1856 â The Beginning. Adolph Siot, a French immigrant, was the first to plant wine grapes and build a winery in Templeton, CA. He purchased a 140 acre property in 1891, and planted fruit trees and grapevines from which he made wine. 1908 â The ROTTA era.
The site that is now Hewitt Vineyard was first planted to vines in 1880, when Dennis Hanrahan bought the parcel bordering Gustave Niebaumâs Inglenook (now Rubicon Estate). The Hanrahan Ranch survived Prohibition by shipping grapes east to home winemakers. In 1962, William A. Hewitt, head of Deere & Company (John Deere), bought the vineyard and replanted it to Cabernet Sauvignon with the help of famed wine master AndrÃ© Tchelistcheff. â Description from dvoristanac.
