Amedee Delpech was a Los Gatos wine and spirit maker. Delpech was born in France in 1850; he immigrated to the United States in 1876[1], and lived in the Alma area[2]. Delpech built a winery at the corner of Santa Cruz Ave. and Saratoga Ave. in 1900[3]; the building was later extended by Hunt Brothers Packing Company as a cannery to replace the former Los Gatos Canneries plant in downtown Los Gatos.
Delpech owned land in the Santa Cruz Mountains where he operated a winery and brandy distillery[4][5]. Delpach produced Sauvignon Vert, White Pilot, mission brandy, and peach brandy as early as 1887[6]. Delpach's ranch, adjoining G. Heuter's "Mountain Spring Ranch"[7], apparently was along the Santa Cruz road[8]
Amedee died in 1903[9].
