Who are We?

After making gold medal winning wines for 30 harvests winemaker Paul Wofford is in Camino turning grapes into gold.  During the 2005 California State Fair, Wofford Acres Vineyards received the "Best  Red Blend for the Sierra Foothill Region" and a gold medalfor their 2004 LaMancha because of Paul's expertise. In 2006, Wofford Acres Vineyards received silver medals from both the  California State and El Dorado County Fairs for our  2005 Molino de Viento, proving once again that "real men drink pink!"

Paul's winemaking experience began with graduate  studies at Fresno State University and continued on in  the cellars at Clos du Val and Zaca Mesa. His years as the winemaker for Martin Ray and  Bargetto Winery have made his name synonymous with  creating excellent wines. His wine consultant  business clients include St. Amant Winery and Port  Works, Vino Con Brio Winery, Trout Gulch Vineyards, Hunter Hill Winery, Loma Prieta Winery and  California Cellars.

Paul's awards list is filled with top honors, and  what follows are just a sampling of his awards.  Pinot Noir has earned Paul "Best of Class" at both the California State Fair and the West  Coast Wine Competition, and "Double Gold" at the East Coast International Wine Competition.  His Meritage-style blends have also earned him "Best of Class" at the California State Fair and the Los Angeles County Fair, and "Double Gold" at the San Francisco International Wine Competition and the  Atlanta International Wine Challenge. Paul's Merlot and Zinfandel have also garnered him "Double Gold" medals, his Chardonnay has been  selected "Best Chardonnay of California" at the California State Fair and a "Best Buy" by Wine Spectator magazine. Paul has two  styles of Gewurztraminer, both Dry and Medium-Dry,  which have been recognized with "Best of Show" at the El Dorado/Reno West Coast  Competition, and a Wine Enthusiast magazine honor of Greater  United States Wine Producers.
