Winemaker Roger Harrison Notes
The late Myron Nightingale was winemaker at Bringer Vineyards from 1971 to 1984. Myron and his wife, Alicce, were great innovators who collaborater to create the first Sauternes-style dessert wine in California. Today, it bears their name. Myron used to joke that making great wine was simple, but simply put, Myron was a great winemaker.
