David Ramey is widely acknowledged to be among the wine pioneers whose efforts helped raise the bar for all American winemakers and brought California to the forefront of the international wine world. David's groundbreaking work with indigenous yeasts and malolactic and barrel fermentation yielded a new California style that was richer and more lush than previously known.
David helped establish a number of wineries that would become household names. They include Chalk Hill, Matanzas Creek, Dominus Estate and most recently, Rudd Estate.
