Spotlight: Winemaker James Rutherford

 

Winemaker James Rutherford is a transplant from Northern California. A Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo alumni, James gained most of his winemaking experience on the Central Coast before settling down in Temecula.
“My philosophy regarding wine is simple, I acknowledge the fact that everyone has different tastebuds, so one size does not fit all.  Regardless of wine knowledge and experience, one person’s wine preference is as valid as the next, whether that person is new to wine or a wine expert.”
