Ramon Pulido
Vineyard Manager
Ramon is a longtime resident of Sonoma and all round grape growing expert. Originally from Tototlan in Jalisco, Mexico, Ramon has raised all his kids here in wine country and is especially proud of his two sons, both of whom served in the US Armed Forces - his eldest serving two tours of duty in Iraq as a US Marine. Before his position at Rubissow Vineyards, Ramon worked at Domaine Chandon where, over a 23 year period, he rose through the ranks from field worker all the way up to Assistant Vineyards Manager -- supervising multiple crews on multiple properties totaling 1000+ acres. While managing Domaine Chandon's Mt. Veeder vineyards, he became fluent in the unique challenges that come with growing extraordinary grapes, worthy of the greatest appellation wines, in such a rugged hillside environment. Today, working closely with Timothy, Ariel and Peter, his strategic improvement of vineyard quality is apparent in the enhanced depth and complexity of the new Rubissow wines.
