Grant Ramey, from viticulturist to winemaker...

A Yuba County native, with a deep connection to the local ecology, Grant has a long history of vineyard management.  He managed Yuba County's largest vineyard for 30 years.  His years of hands-on experience of the local viticulture gives him a cutting edge when it comes to producing superior grape crops in the mountainous North Yuba appellation. His knowledge and understanding of the soil analysis needed for vines coupled with organic practices has helped the vines he manages to produce healthy crops of flavor packed grapes.

Grant began to develop his winemaking skills by treating small batches of his vineyard experiments to individual barrel treatment in the cellar.  Growing good grapes is his "forte", making wine, his passion.  In the creation of Grant-Eddie Winery, Grant and has had the good forture to turn a passion into a profession.
