Fun Facts: Rudy’s passionate interest  in Cabernet Sauvignon lead him to discover a family connection to Eric de Rothschild, and wrote a letter asking to do an internship at Chateau Lafite-Rothschild.  Each year the winery had been hiring an intern from the French winemaking program at Montpellier.  Thinking that two minds are better than one,  Mr. Rothschild invited Rudy to work the 1985 harvest as their first American intern.  Upon completion Rudy returned to Napa Valley  in the Spring of 1986 and became the enologist at Trefethen Winery and Vineyards.  In 1988 he became the assistant winemaker at Newton Vineyards in St. Helena.
