Posted on February 24, 2021
Boulder Creek, Calif. Blake Yarger has been promoted to Winemaker at Big Basin Vineyards, officially assuming the job title for a role that he has been sharing with Bradley Brown for the past year. Yarger has responsibility for the full portfolio of the highly acclaimed Big Basin Vineyard wines and will continue his heavy involvement in vineyard management.
“Promoting Blake to Winemaker was a no-brainer for me,” says Founder and Owner, Bradley Brown. “When we hired Blake as Assistant Winemaker in 2017, he already had almost 10 years of winemaking and cellar experience. We have worked side-by-side for four harvests at Big Basin, and I have come to trust and value Blake’s knowledge, opinions and integrity.
