Coyote Crest Owners, Phil and Marilyn Cool | Phil's Auto Collection & Projects | Phil and Bosephus
Phil and Marilyn Cool own and operate Coyote Crest Vineyards & Winery. An on-going project, and labor of love... Phil and Marilyn purchased 32 acres of bare land in 1985 and have transformed it into a Sonoma County picture postcard. Pride of ownership and quality of craftsmanship is evident in every aspect of Coyote Crest, from the well planned and maintained vineyards, creative and beautiful landscaping, modern and efficient winery, personal residence and delicious wines.

Bosephus
Hi, I'm Bosephus
- (Bo-see-fuss)
My mom is a golden lab and my dad is a rottweiler. Contrary to what you
may have been told I run the show here. I come and go as I damn well
please and I eat grapes right off the vine. I head up the security around
the ranch and am responsible for training the younger dogs. I can speak
Coyote and do most every night around 1 or 2 a.m... This seems to piss Phil
off because he yells at me if I go on to long.
I have a lot of time on my paws so if you have a question about anything on the ranch send me an email and I will give you the straight scoop without the fluff. -B
