Greetings from Bogle...

Tell us the story of the winery.

Though we've been farming the Delta region of California since the late 1800's, it wasn’t until 1968 that father and son team of Warren and Chris Bogle planted the first winegrapes in the area.  Built by Chris and his wife Patty, the winery is now run by their children, Warren, Ryan and Jody Bogle, who are 6th generation farmers.

They are proud to continue to family tradition created by their parents and grandparents:  quality wine that over delivers with each and every bottle.

What's your winemaking philosophy?

Quality above all else.

What's your favourite cocktail?

Gin & Tonic with Lime.

Tell us about your most memorable food and wine moment.

When my husband and I had just met, I travelled for work to Alaska and was able to fish the Alexander River. I caught a 15kg King Salmon and when I returned home, we barbecued it at the winery and drank newly released Chardonnay.  It was a lovely meal and quite memorable as we have now been married for 13 years.

You’re a castaway and you can only take three wines, one book and two luxury items with you - what are these and why?

Three Wines 

Bogle Chenin Blanc, Schramsberg Jschram, Bogle Phantom.

One Book 

Outlander.

Two Luxury Items

Sunscreen, dark chocolate.

If you weren't working in wine, what would your 'Plan B' be?

Teaching English to elementary children.

You can cook for three guests (living or dead): who are they, and what would you cook them? Also give us a run-down of what you'll be drinking.

My parents, Chris and Patty Bogle, and my grandfather, Warren Bogle, founders of Bogle Vineyards. They are missed everyday.
