WINEMAKING Winemaker Interview: ADAM LAZARRE Using Flash Détente, Pulsair and other tech By Laurie Daniel 1980s. So much so that when he returned to civilian life, he enrolled in the enology program at California State University- Fresno. He graduated in the mid-1990s and worked at Jekel Vineyards and Constella- tion Wines in Monterey County and at a custom-crush facility in Lodi. W Where LaZarre really gained recogni- tion was during his eight-year tenure inemaker Adam LaZarre fell in love with wine while he was serving in the U.S. Navy on Wash- ington state's Olympic Peninsula in the late at Hahn Estates in Monterey County. He had been recruited by consulting winemaker Barry Gnekow, and it was Gnekow who introduced him to a lot of winemaking technology. "He always en- couraged us to try new things," LaZarre says. About three years ago LaZarre, who was living in Paso Robles, Calif., left Hahn for a job closer to home and became winemaker for Villa San-Juliette in San Miguel. He's also the consulting winemaker for Hearst Ranch Winery and has his own label, LaZarre Wines, where he makes Pinot Noir and Sauvi- gnon Blanc. • Calibration-free Temperature Control • Fermentation Status From Anywhere • Brix/Temp/Pump-over Tracking • Alarms via E-mail or Text • Production Software Interfaces • Cellar Temperature, Humidity & CO2 • Flexible Energy Management Tools 707 938-1300 WWW.ACROLON.COM INNOVATION 38 Wines & Vines JULY 2011 12th ® RELIABILITY
