Julie Lumgair is an award-winning consulting and hands-on winemaker.
Her wines span eighteen vintages and 25 varietals from Napa Valley,
Sonoma County and Italy. She has served in many combined estate
winemaking and winegrowing roles with a keen eye on agricultural and
cellar practices increasing both sustainability and top quality.
Her calling cards are consistently producing acclaimed wines that reflect
their place, excellence in winery operations, substantial innovation and
trial programs feasible for artisan wineries’ scale, a passionate attention
