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.
