We’re thrilled to welcome back Randy Ullom, honored as Wine Enthusiast’s 2022 “American Wine Legend” and Sonoma County’s 2022 “Wine Icon.” A native of Ann Arbor, Michigan, Ullom was first inspired by his father’s home winemaking hobby, but a three-year sabbatical from college spent in Chilean wine country sparked his true passion for the craft.

In 1993, he joined Jess Jackson to reopen Edmeades in Mendocino and launch Camelot Vineyards in Central California, later overseeing operations in Chile, Argentina, and Australia.
