  2. Q&A with Gainey Winemaker Jeff LeBard

    Q: How many years have you worked at Gainey? A: In September it will be 9-years.

    Q: How did you get into winemaking? A: When I was 18, I found out I was going to be a father and needed a job. I was living on the central coast at the time and my dad suggested I get a job in the local wine industry. In 1997, I had my first job at Fess Parker Winery.  It was sometime in my second year that I caught the winemaking bug. I discovered I had aptitude for and passion for it.  I can so clearly remember the day I came to realize that winemaking was what I wanted to do with my life.  Almost twenty years later I am still pleased with that decision.

A lot of wine and food pairing comes down to personal taste, but those who really know wine and food (sommeliers, wine makers, chefs) do suggest a few guidelines to follow. While there are a few commonly agreed matches of food/wine, don’t let that stop you from keeping an open mind and finding what matches work best with your palate.
