Randle brings his extensive experience and knowledge to his own wines for the Calafia Cellars.

A native Californian, Randle attended the University of California at Davis graduating with a M. S. in Viticulture in 1974. He worked as a viticulturist for the original Souverain Winery, and learned the practical aspects of winemaking from their winemaker, Phil Baxter.

Randle worked with the Napa Valley microclimates as a vineyard manager and cellar master of Mayacamus Vineyards. He has honed his wine making skills as the winemaker for Stags' Leap Vineyard, and as a special projects manager creating exceptional wines from Mt. Veeder Mountain grapes for the Hess Collection.
