WINEMAKER - KRUTZ FAMILY CELLARS<br />
A true southerner, Patrick Krutz was born and bred in Jackson, Mississippi.<br />
After graduating from Ole Miss, he got the west coast bug and decided to move<br />
to California. After working in a small wine and cheese shop in Carmel for<br />
several years, be began to dabble in wine making. That experimenting would<br />
forever change his life.<br />
The first release of Krutz Family Cellars took place in 2003 with a mere 60<br />
cases. From there, not only has every vintage year increased in production and<br />
sold out, the wines have received classic scores from Wine Enthusiast.<br />
Today the wines are made at a state of the art winery and tasting room in Santa<br />
Rosa. Although they produce many more than 60 cases these days, they are still<br />
an artisan micro-winery with total production just under 3000 cases. They truly<br />
are a family operation as Patrick’s brother Cole assists in wine making and other<br />
brother Bryan handles sales. The Krutz family owns a home in Rosemary Beach<br />
and brother Bryan lives locally in Watercolor.<br />
