Winemaker Phil Steinschriber

Phil Steinschriber has been involved in the beverage business since his teens. He became Diamond Creek Vineyards winemaker in 1991. “He produces the Diamond Creek wines today after setting a tone of softer wines in the 90’s and rounder more complex wines in the 2000’s.” Phil knows the Diamond Mountain District from a very personal commitment to its terroir. We like to think of it as sperroir, or a spiritual connection to the area. Phil has championed Diamond Creek’s success, and we are very proud that he has made our wine for vintages 2006 and 2007.

Congratulations to Phil!
