Don’t miss this rare chance to sip, savor, and chat with a true master of his craft.

About the winemaker: Randle brings his extensive experience and knowledge to his own wines for the Calafia Cellars.

A native Californian, Randle attended the University of California at Davis graduating with a M. S. in Viticulture in 1974. He worked as a viticulturist for the original Souverain Winery, and learned the practical aspects of winemaking from their winemaker, Phil Baxter.
