Winemaker, Salvestrin
A third-generation grapegrower, Rich learned the art of farming on the family ranch from his father and grandfather. He completed his degree in viticulture from Fresno State University in 1987 and has diverse experience in the wine industry over a 35 year career. While in college he interned at Louis Martini Winery and then held positions at Mumm Napa Valley, S. Anderson Winery and was vineyard Supervisor at Jaeger Vineyards for eight years. Rich finished his outside employment career as VP/COO of California Grapevine Nursery, a position he held for nine years until 2006.
During that time he continued to help farm the family vineyards and expanded the family's grape growing business to include winemaking. Rich and his wife Shannon established Salvestrin Wine Co in 1994 and constructed the family estate winery in 2001.
