Graduating from California State University, Fresno with a degree in Enology, Chris spent four years on the winemaking staff at Jordan where he focused on traditional production techniques for both Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. Taking a position at Kendall-Jackson as an assistant winemaker, he was able to fine-tune methods for producing wines from vineyards throughout California, which proved an invaluable experience.
