Jeff Runquist: Master of Many Varietals

With a nearly endless list of accolades, Amador County winemaker Jeff Runquist is renowned for crafting balanced, fruit-forward wines that truly define the Sierra Foothills region. While some wineries specialize in just a few grape varietals, Runquist has mastered dozens. He opens up about his winemaking journey, philosophy, and the unique bond he shares with his growers. We even had a surprise mid-interview visit from one of those growers, Enver Salman!
