Vintner’s Dinner | Jackson Family Wines
Saturday, January 30 | Reception 6pm | Dinner 7pm
We’re thrilled to welcome back Randy Ullom, honored as Wine Enthusiast’s 2022 “American Wine Legend” and Sonoma County’s 2022 “Wine Icon.” A native of Ann Arbor, Michigan, Ullom was first inspired by his father’s home winemaking hobby, but a three-year sabbatical from college spent in Chilean wine country sparked his true passion for the craft. After pursuing a degree in viticulture, he graduated summa cum laude from The Ohio State University in 1975. In 1993, he joined Jess Jackson to reopen Edmeades in Mendocino and launch Camelot Vineyards in Central California, later overseeing operations in Chile, Argentina, and Australia. Ullom became Kendall-Jackson’s Head Winemaker in 1997, was named COO in 2006, and now serves as SVP/Winemaster, overseeing winemaking operations with oversight of Chile.
