Sonoma County/Great White Wines From Simi Winery
I would like to introduce you to Susan Lueker
Director of Winemaking at Simi Winery
Susan Lueker, who as a young girl made dandelion wine with her father on the family farm, says she always wanted to be a scientist.
At the University of Missouri she studied chemistry and medical child development then went to graduate school. Partway through, she transferred to the University of California, Davis to pursue a degree in viticulture.
When her enology class visited vineyards for the first time, she knew she wanted to be a winemaker.
She started her career at Hacienda Winery, took the experience she gained there to Kendall-Jackson and then went to Dry Creek Vineyard where she worked for eight years. Susan joined Simi in 2000. We have two great white wine features to share with you.We will have a few more in the up coming days and weeks.Please join us we saved you a seat!Cheers!
