Client Testimonials
Philo Ridge Vineyard
"One of the first things we did was ask Norman Kobler to be our vineyard manager. Norman has many years of hands-on knowledge about almost everything to do with putting something in the ground, watching it grow, and making wine. Norman planned and supervised the installation of our Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris vineyards in 2000 and has worked hard to continue our education. "
Lula Cellars
"It is Norman’s belief that the Pinot and Gewürztraminer from the Anderson Valley can hold their own anywhere. In 2017, Norman was awarded Vineyard Manager of the Year from the North Bay Business Journal."
