A student of oenology who seeks to achieve the distinction of master winemaker understands it takes preparation and an unwavering commitment to learn the essentials of vinification. Once proficient in the craft, a master winemaker can evaluate, appreciate and communicate the characteristics of a vintage to others. Similarly, a master artist will apply his ingenuity and study his subject from all angles to ensure the composition, lighting and colors will read as he chooses so that the viewer can experience what the artist wants. From the deep golden hue of the chardonnay wine to the late afternoon shadows cast by a cluster of grapes, one can easily recognize the “Caramel Sunset.”
