Winemaker Greg Bjornstad
|
Greg Bjornstad studied Agronomy with a Foreign Service emphasis at Colorado State University preparing him for a career in international development. He first discovered fine wine in the Caribbean and his interest in wine continued while living in and around New York City. His wanderlust culminated in his moving cross-country to Davis, California, where he began his graduate studies in Viticulture in 1989. At Davis, Greg was interested in both vines and wines, taking many enology courses in addition to his curriculum in viticulture. In 1990, he received a Wine Spectator Scholarship and worked the harvest at Newton Vineyards in St. Helena. In 1991, Greg was selected for the coveted Chateau Lafite Rothschild internship. In France, Greg was able to divide his time evenly between vineyard and winery and learn traditional Bordelaise methods. It was during his experience at Lafite that he observed that great wine is inextricably linked to the vineyard. The process is one. Once home, Greg joined Joseph Phelps Vineyards as their Viticulturist. After four years at Phelps he was prepared for more responsibility and returned to Newton as their Vineyard Manager. In 1996, Greg lent his skills to a “start up opportunity” beyond the known viticultural world on the Sonoma Coast. Greg joined Flowers Vineyard and Winery as Vineyard Manager and Assistant Winemaker. The Burgundy bug bit him hard and it was there that Greg first “closed the loop” as he tended both vines and wines from grape to bottle. As the backbone of the Flowers team, Greg shared in the top award from Wine & Spirits magazine as “Artisan Winery of the Year” for an unprecedented two years in a row. In 1999, his passion, coupled with solid experience, prepared Greg to start an international vineyard consulting business. Greg works with growers and wineries to establish new, ultra premium vineyards as well as assist them in optimizing their existing vineyard’s potential to produce extraordinary wine. Some clients have included DuMol, Hirsch, Kistler, Kosta Browne, Ladera, Patz & Hall, Paul Hobbs, Peay, Peter Michael, Pisoni, Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars and Scott Paul. Additionally, Greg has consulted in Russia, South Africa and Australia. Greg was also one of the two founders of Greg & Greg, Inc., a custom crush facility in Sebastopol and was one half of the Tandem Winery team, producing Chardonnay and Pinot noir from the Sonoma Coast and Russian River. Striking out on his own again, he is very proud to launch his own wine project, Bjornstad Cellars, as he builds upon his experience and continues to learn, grow and participate in the ever evolving process of wine growing, from grape to glass; the process is one.
