Uncorked: Winemaker remains driven after nearly 50 years
Richard Arrowood has completed nearly a half century of harvests.
After the recent completion of his 47th growing season, the Sonoma County winemaker remains driven. He claims to have never made or drank the perfect wine. A challenge that Arrowood assumed when he put a pair of Sonoma wineries on the map as winemaker prior to 2006 when he founded Amapola Creek.
“I don’t know in 47 years if I’ve ever been 100 percent satisfied,” Arrowood said. “I’ve never tasted a perfect wine. But I do my best to create one.”
