Winemaker: Justin Boeger

Justin Boeger graduated from UC Davis in 1998 with a degree in fermentation science and is now the head winemaker for Boeger Winery. Besides on the job training throughout his life, he interned in two prestigious wineries in the Franconian region of Germany before taking over here. Following in the pioneering tradition, Justin has introduced several new wines and techniques to Boeger Winery, including the now very popular Pinot Noir and a comprehensive and diversified oak aging program. He has also won numerous prestigious awards, including double golds, Best Ofs and the 2008 California Grand Champion Zinfandel (the 2006 Walker). Justin’s winemaking style aims for well-balanced wines that you can drink now.
