About Kent Rasmussen Winery
In operation for over 30 years, the Kent Rasmussen Winery grew from modest beginnings in a garage into one of the most important Pinot Noir producers in California. Unlike most Napa Valley wineries, Rasmussen and his wife Celia Ramsay never went the tasting-room route, instead selling their wines in restaurants and stores throughout the Bay Area, greater California, and in 28 other states. They’re known for the Kent Rasmussen and Ramsay brand wines, and perhaps best known for making “purely poetic Pinot Noir”.

Here’s a short video interview from 2014 with winemaker Kent Rasmussen about the nascent days of California winemaking, and his early attraction to “the most difficult grape.”
