A true icon of the wine industry, Rajat Parr is one of the world’s foremost experts on wine. He rose to international stardom after his tenure at San Francisco's institutions like Rubicon and Fifth Floor, but more recently, his prestige as an industry-shifting wine director has been eclipsed by his renown as a wine writer and winemaker. He is partner/proprietor in Sandhi and Domaine de la Côte in Santa Barbara, Evening Land in the Willamette and a force of nature behind the regenerative farming project Phelan Farm in Cambria.
