Eric Jon Rothchild was introduced to the art of winemaking by his grandfather, Nathan Rothchild during the 1960s. Eric started collecting wines in his late teens and kept journals of his tasting while attending college. His passion for wine evolved while in medical school. He then attended numerous professional wine tastings and traveled to Europe for further exposure and knowledge of the wine industry. Eric elevated his knowledge of winemaking by enrolling in a 2-year Program in Winemaking at the University of California, Davis. He completed this program and graduated with a Certificate Degree in Winemaking and Viticulture.
Eric has traveled to meet with winemakers from many prestigious chateaus, wineries, and vineyards throughout France, Italy, and Spain. This exposure has fostered his strong interest to create a fine wine that would rival those that have been made by the great European houses. Eric’s understanding of the intricacies of enology now allows him to create a fine wine worthy of drinking today as well as one to cellar for many years.
