Summary
Experienced in wine grape production as an assistant vineyard manager but have always been passionate about the winemaking process. While attending Fresno State I spent the majority of my free time with grad students of the enology department helping them with their wine projects. I gained skills at the campus winery and carried that over to my own winemaking operation at the vineyard I currently reside in. I have had success with red grape varieties including cabernet sauvignon, pinot noir, syrah, and petit verdot. I have been making my own wine for the past six years and am looking to pursue it professionally.
