We are thrilled to share that Kendall-Jackson Winemaster Randy Ullom has been selected as the @wineenthusiast ‘American Wine Legend’ in the 23rd Annual #WineStarAwards. Hand-selected by the publishers of Wine Enthusiast, this prestigious award is unlike the other Wine Star Award categories and does not have any other nominees– recognizing a true icon and representing the pinnacle of American winemaking. In 1993, Randy was hired by Jess Jackson. For the past 30 years, Randy has pushed the boundaries of winemaking while ensuring every drop of wine lives up to the superior quality, integrity, authenticity, and consistency of @kjwines storied winemaking heritage. Under Randy’s leadership, Jackson Family Wines– the only American wine company with ownership in a French stave mill– developed a robust and industry-leading barrel program that enables all of our winemakers to choose precise oak sourcing – the region and the forest – which guarantees access to the highest-quality, sustainably sourced oak for our wine barrels. Randy pioneered some of the most innovative initiatives in the wine space today, such as barrel-fermenting nearly every drop of Kendall-Jackson's flagship Vintner’s Reserve Chardonnay, the largest barrel-ferment in the world for Chardonnay and an unprecedented commitment to artisanal winemaking techniques to achieve craft winemaking at scale. Randy’s distinguished winemaking skills, precision, and remarkable focus have helped Kendall-Jackson Vintner’s Reserve Chardonnay maintain its position as America’s #1 selling Chardonnay for 30 years. Congratulations Randy and to learn more about this incredible honor visit the 🔗 in our bio.
