Winemaking Team

David Ramey, Consulting Winemaker

David Ramey is hailed as a pioneer who raised the bar for American wines, and helped bring California to the forefront of the international wine world. Over the past 30 years he has set a new standard for California Chardonnays. His vast experience with such wineries as Matanzas Creek, Dominus Estate, Rudd Estate and Chalk Hill set him apart as an American Master Winemaker. His ground-breaking work with whole cluster pressing and the use of indigenous yeasts and slow malolactic fermentation has yielded a benchmark California style that is silky, smooth and food friendly. We believe that Fog Crest Vineyard Estate Chardonnay is a classic example of this acclaimed style.
