After
making gold
medal
winning wines for 30 harvests winemaker Paul Wofford
is in Camino turning grapes into gold. During
the 2005
California State Fair,
Wofford Acres Vineyards received the "Best Red
Blend for the Sierra Foothill Region" and a gold
medal
for their
2004 LaMancha because of Paul's
expertise. In 2006, Wofford Acres
Vineyards received silver
medals from both the California
State and El Dorado County Fairs for our 2005 Molino
de Viento, proving once again that "real men
drink pink!" Paul's
winemaking experience began with graduate studies at
Fresno State University and continued on in the
cellars at Clos du Val and Zaca Mesa. His
years as the winemaker for Martin Ray and Bargetto
Winery have made his name synonymous with creating
excellent wines. His wine consultant business
clients include St. Amant Winery and Port Works,
Vino Con Brio Winery, Trout Gulch Vineyards, Hunter
Hill Winery, Loma Prieta Winery and California
Cellars. Paul's
awards list is filled with top honors, and what
follows are just a sampling of his awards. Pinot
Noir has earned Paul "Best of Class" at
both the California State Fair and the West Coast
Wine Competition, and "Double Gold" at the
East Coast International Wine Competition. His
Meritage-style blends have also earned him
"Best of Class" at the California State
Fair and the Los Angeles County Fair, and
"Double Gold" at the San Francisco
International Wine Competition and the Atlanta
International Wine Challenge. Paul's Merlot
and Zinfandel have also garnered him "Double
Gold" medals, his Chardonnay has been selected
"Best Chardonnay of California" at the
California State Fair and a "Best Buy" by
Wine Spectator magazine. Paul has two styles
of Gewurztraminer, both Dry and Medium-Dry, which
have been recognized with "Best of Show"
at the El Dorado/Reno West Coast Competition, and a
Wine Enthusiast magazine honor of Greater United
States Wine Producers.
Paul
and his business partners (brother Mike and wife
Ann, sons David and Andy and nephew Michael) invite
