While teaching math at San Jose State University and working a side hustle at a home-brewing supply store. Encouraged to try his hand at winemaking. He fell deeply, madly in love. His hunger for grapes soon inspired him to become a grape broker. He started earning access to extra fruit while forging relationships with vineyard owners throughout Northern California. This gig allowed him to be in the right place when a certain Pinot Noir vineyard—the first acreage in our estate—went up for sale in 1989.
A self-taught farmer who (along with friends and family) built their gravity-flow winery by hand. Rick enjoys experimenting with different varietals and winemaking methods. His heart will always belong to Pinot Noir, but as a passionate viticulturist and vintner, he remains ever-curious about the whole world of wine.
