Traveling cross country learning and refining his technique, winemaker Eric Donaldson settled in Lodi, California. LVVR originated from a small sparkling endeavor for the Vizcarra sisters, since then it has grown into a much larger endeavor.
Eric graduated from Miami University, in Oxford, Ohio. Upon graduation, he began working in the Ohio wine industry, starting off the first few years in a couple of wineries in the Cincinnati area. Eric’s first few years were critical to developing a comprehensive understanding of the winery laboratory and cellar. He moved on from the Cincinnati area, also working in a winery near Cleveland.
