Man of the earth and passionate visionary, John K. Bugay, relocated to Sonoma County in 1996 in order to pursue the life-long dream of creating his own hillside vineyard estate. A gifted renaissance man, he began his mid-life career with an extensive knowledge of soil chemistry, plant biology and landscape design on a grand scale. His experienced and acute palate for fine wines supports and enhances the duality of viticulturist and vintner.
From locating the perfect vineyard environment high in the Mayacamas Mountains of Sonoma County, to meticulously planting and maintaining the vines, to setting a standard of excellence in the winery, John is truly a pioneer and perfectionist.
