Winemaker

What started as a lark turned into a full-time endeavor. After a successful career as founder and president of a prominent, Inland Empire area landscape architecture firm, Richard jumped both feet into the art, science and magic of winemaking.

With the encouragement of friends and mentors from wineries both near and far, he has developed a knack for producing award winning vintages.

Never one to rest on his laurels, Richard is a lifelong learner and his desire hone his craft includes a continuing thirst for education. He is currently enrolled in the Winemaker Certificate Program at the University of California Davis with an expected completion in late Spring 2017.

History

Ten years ago, Richard and Elizabeth Krumwiede set out on a journey to make wine and hard cider. Their aspirations were modest: gather with close friends, enjoy good food, and make great wine. It was a simple formula and one that they continue to strive for today.

They “discovered” the Ranch in 1999, located in an area known more for its antique apple and cherry orchards. A leap of faith led them to plant Zinfandel and Syrah vineyards.

Together they make a potent team and they look forward to hosting you for a tasting, or shipping you their award-winning vintages.
