Bibayoff Winery

Or Colonia Ruso.
There is a little museum there which traces the history of the Russian settlement of Valle de Guadalupe. Known as Colonia Ruso a small cemetery,
church and some Russian-style homes still exist from the migration of Russian Molokan religious order which was granted land in 1905. At one point
about 500 Russian immigrants lived here.

You are correct sir!
A favorite of ours to visit. They have a small museum full of family history. On our last stop a month ago they were doing weekend dinners that
looked very interesting, outdoor setting under trees, very impressive setting. Will try and report next time down.
Senior David Bibayoff (owner and winemaker) is a very friendly host. If you haven't visited this winery it's worth searching out. For the dog lovers
they have a resident Mastiff that cruises the property.

Molokans ("Milk Drinkers")
Skipjack Joe - 6-9-2010 at 11:05 AM
Molokans (Russian for "milk-drinkers") are sectarian Christians who evolved from "Spiritual Christian" Russian peasants that refused to obey the
Russian Orthodox Church, beginning in the 1600s. They were so named for their drinking milk on most of the approximately 200 fasting days, especially
the Great Fast (Lent)— an activity which was prohibited by ecclesiastical authorities. In contrast, they called themselves "true Spiritual
Christians", rather than "milk-drinkers", because they could no longer accept the Russian Orthodox Church, nor that of the Protestant sects or the
Catholic Church. They may have been influenced by an earlier religious sect of Armenian "Paulicians", who became known as the "Bogomils" of Thrace,
Bulgaria, Bosnia and Serbia.
In a sense Molokans are Protestants for rejecting Orthodoxy, and like Presbyterians in that they have a council of dominant elders. Though Molokans
are somewhat similar to the European Quakers and Mennonites — for their pacifism, communal organization, spiritual meetings, and sub-groupings — they
are ethnically much closer to Doukhobors and Sabbatarians (Subbotniki) because they evolved from the same Russian Spiritual Christian movement of
Khristovers and Ikonobors (icon-wrestlers), and migrated together with some intermarriage
I know that many of them emigrated to Canada during the late 19th century. Tolstoy donated all of his royalties from the novel "Resurrection" at this
time. He was at odds with the czarist regime towards his latter years.DENNIS - 6-9-2010 at 11:24 AM

I'll bet that explains why they buried a pick in his forehead.
