About the Producer

Rudy von Strasser’s journey into winemaking actually began at the University of New Hampshire while studying agriculture. His goal was to be “The King of Hard-Cider”, writing his thesis on hard-cider production. While traveling across the country, Rudy took a job at Robert Mondavi Winery in 1980 with the intention to take tips-and-tricks from the wine industry to apply to hard-cider production; he ended up falling in love with wine. Rudy later enrolled in the Enology program at U.C. Davis.
