Both men served as inspiration for next-gen winemakers.

Winemaker Warren Winiarski, whose 1973 Napa Cabernet Sauvignon bested the French Bordeaux at the 1976 Judgement of Paris, died June 7 at age 95. Winiarski first came to learn about wine from Martin Ray, who planted the vineyard in Saratoga that is today Mount Eden Vineyards. Winiarski, who died June 7 at age 95, was founder and proprietor of Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars in Napa.

Known for fashioning his own stylish and colorful bowties, David was a foodie purist by upbringing. His Assyrian mother instilled in him a love of simple, seasonal cooking, which he parlayed into newspaper columns, a restaurant, a weekly radio segment on KCBS and several cookbooks. David died on June 20 at age 87.

Which brings us to the much-coveted Wine Spectator Grand Award, of which Grasing’s was one of four recipients this year. Contrary to its name, the Women’s Wine Competition is open to wine made by all but is judged exclusively by women. This year’s competition awarded San Jose’s Alamitos Vineyards with Best of Class for its 2021 Estate “Andorinha” Touriga Nacional, a Portuguese variety typically made into Port, but here, expertly fashioned by George Troquato into a table red.
