Patrick Krutz
A true southerner, Patrick Krutz was born and bred in Jackson, Mississippi. After graduating from Ole Miss, he got the west coast bug and decided to move to California. After working in a small wine and cheese shop in Carmel for several years, be began to dabble in wine making. That experimenting would forever change his life. The first release of Krutz Family Cellars took place in 2003 with a mere 60 cases. From there, not only has every vintage year increased in production and sold out, the wines have received classic scores from Wine Enthusiast. Today the wines are made at our state of the art winery and tasting room in Santa Rosa. Although we produce many more than 60 cases these days, we are still an artisan micro-winery with total production just under 2000 cases. We also truly are a family operation as Patrick’s brother Cole assists in wine making and other brother Bryan handles sales. Patrick resides in Novato, California with his wife Rebecca and children Patrick and Ellie. The Krutz family owns a home in Rosemary Beach and brother Bryan lives locally in Watercolor.
