After graduating in 1957 in agronomy from the University of California, Davis, Sommer moved to Douglas County, Oregonto pursue fine winemaking.

All of these cuttings had been collected in 1959, from Louis Martini’s Stanly Ranch Vineyard in Carneros, California with the exception of Zinfandel which had been sourced locally from the Doerner family who had come to the Umpqua Valley from Nap in the 1880's. Sommer sold Hillcrest Vineyards in 2003 to Dyson and Susan DeMara. (en)
