Graduating from California State University, Fresno with a degree in Enology, Chris spent four years on the winemaking staff at Jordan where he focused on traditional production techniques for both Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. Taking a position at Kendall-Jackson as an assistant winemaker, he was able to fine-tune methods for producing wines from vineyards throughout California, which proved an invaluable experience. Bringing this experience with him, Chris has been producing outstanding wines at Bogle since his start in 1992. His goal is to produce the best wine value in California.

Introduced to the wine industry at a young age while growing up in the Livermore Valley and working for various wineries, Eric graduated from California Polytechnic Institute, San Luis Obispo with a degree in chemistry. He worked for ten years, through college and beyond, at Concannon Vineyards, earning the position of assistant winemaker. In 1994 Eric began his career at Bogle Winery and continues to focus on producing wines of outstanding character and exceptional quality.

Assistant winemaker Dana Stemmler’s interest in winemaking was first piqued on a trip to Italy with her aunt in 2000. From that point, she knew working with both science and art through enology was something she would enjoy. She enrolled in UC Davis, up the road from her hometown of Fairfield, studying Viticulture and Enology. While there, Dana interned at Mumm Napa for two harvests, where she gained valuable experience in both production quality control and grape quality in the vineyard. After graduating with her Bachelor of Science degree, Dana joined the Bogle team as lab technician, but quickly took over the lab as enologist. In 2009, Dana was promoted to Assistant Winemaker and today continues to champion quality in all the wines Bogle produces.
