Kurtis Ogasawara
Winemaker, Robert Mondavi Winery
Growing up in Sunnyvale, California, Kurtis lived just outside of Wine Country in the Bay Area. When he went off to college, he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Viticulture and Enology from UC Davis.
When asked why he wanted to become a winemaker, he said, “It is the perfect mix of science and art; wine is something you can create to enjoy with family and friends.”
Kurtis began his career in California wine, working with sparkling wine at Domaine Chandon and Mumm Napa then moved further up the valley to Newton Vineyard where he was an Enologist. Drawn towards the idea of working for a historic winery and vineyard, Kurtis began his career at Robert Mondavi Winery in 2015 as the Enologist. In 2017 he joined the winemaking team as Assistant Winemaker and in 2018, Senior Winemaker at Robert Mondavi Winery.
