Gustavo Brambila
Winemaker

Gustavo Brambila has been making Cabernet Sauvignon for Taylor Family Vineyards since 2002. He began making Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc Finale Doux for Taylor Family Vineyards in 2007 and then Chardonnay in 2009. Born in Jalisco, Mexico, he emigrated to California in 1955 with his father, who worked the vineyards in Oakville. As a youngster, Gustavo encountered wine luminaries such as André Tchelistcheff and Tom Selfridge, and experimented with making wine. Gus graduated from UC Davis with a degree in fermentation science and began working with Mike Grgich at Chateau Montelena in 1976. Gus then joined Mike when he began Grgich Hills. He spent 22 years there, leaving to become general manager and winemaker at Peju Province. Gus founded Gustavo Thrace in 1996, a winery which became known for its outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon. As the Taylors searched for their red winemaker, Gus was recommended over and over again. He agreed to join them and has been making the Taylor Family Vineyards  wines ever since.
