Graham Wehmeier
Winemaker, Merryvale Vineyards
My goal after school was to expose myself to as much variety in winemaking styles and traditions as possible, with internships around the world (Tuscany and New Zealand) and across the north coast of California. The depth and power of mountain-grown Cabernet-based wines drew me back to Spring Mountain at Cain Vineyard & Winery, then later on across the valley to Merryvale's estate vineyard in the hills east of St. Helena. This remains my focus and my passion today.
