This is where he developed his knowledge of grape growing and winemaking. In El Dorado, Greg became a pioneer in experimenting with underdog varietals such as Barbera, Carignane, Refosco, Charbono, and Aglianico. Barbera emerged as the winery\u2019s golden child early on and has garnered 120 medals for this one varietal, including multiple \u201cBest Barbera of California\u201d and \u201cBest Barbera of the Sierra Foothills\u201d at the CA State Fair.

The grapes were sold to other wineries until 1978. That\u2019s when the first Bogle Winery wines were produced. Chris and Patty Bogle focused on making great wines at a great price, a core value that was popular with consumers and sustains the brand to this day.<\/p>\n<p>At Chris\u2019 untimely death in 1997, Patty summoned the next generation and made a commitment to press on with their vision. Patty\u2019s focus on the fundamentals of the business helped build growth. Today Warren, Jr., his sister Jody Bogle VanDePol, and brother Ryan, oversee an operation that comprises 1600 hundred acres in Clarksburg and Lodi, all of it bearing a \u201cCertified Sustainable Seal\u201d.
