Greg's passion for wine started as a consumer of
excellent wines from around the globe. In 2005, he
and his wife Sharon purchased property at 2500’
to develop and plant their vineyards in the
Fair Play AVA of California s Sierra Nevada foothills.
Greg received his viticulture and winemaking training
from the University of California, Davis extension
program while performing cellar work and studying
with winemakers Bradley Brown (Big Basin Vineyards)
and Marco Cappelli (Swanson). He is now the
Vineyard Manager and Winemaker for Baiocchi Wines
and Vineyards.
Greg's strength in winemaking lies within his
commitment to the vineyard and farming which truly
drives his passion and the sense of place in his wines.
Baiocchi wines have received critically acclaim and
features in Wine Spectator Magazine, Wine Enthusiast
Magazine and Jeb Dunnuck's The Rhone Report.
