Who & What —

Gamble Family Vineyards hires Phillippe Melka and Maayan Koschitzky as winemakers, succeeding Jim Close.  In the coming years, Gamble plans to release a new AVA-specific tier of wines based on his sustainably farmed estate-vineyards in Oakville, Mt. Veeder and Rutherford. Additionally, Gamble’s flagship wine, Paramount, will be elevated further based on both farming, sourcing, and selection in the cellar.
