Local vineyard farmer. Have had some good wines from his fruit. RIP
Thanks for posting this, Brian - sad news. I met Bud very briefly about 6 years ago during a tour with his son Charlie of some vineyards that Charlie farms in the Green Valley of Russian River Valley. Bud was hard at work at his Chenoweth Ranch vineyard when we stopped by there. It was a pleasure meeting him then, and sorry to hear of his passing.
Sorry to hear this.
Worked with Bud at his home ranch when I was with Patz & Hall which is still a staple wine for them today. Work ethic is right…he was a machine and had a very pleasant way about him.
