Ralph de Unamuno

Ralph’s love affair with vino began with a wine tasting trip to the Santa Barbara county wineries in 2002. Impressed by the complexity and nuance of the wines he discovered, he was inspired to learn more about the world of wine. He is a professor of history and has done extensive research on the connection between wine, beer, and the history of California.  Ralph is an avid home brewer, and has contributed many hours of labor to his home wine making friends’ productions.
