Mike Roth

The Climb

Winemaking in California wine country runs through Fresno State, then through cellar and vineyard-side work at Demetria in Los Olivos and Martian Ranch. Mike Roth held winemaking roles at both, leaving Martian Ranch in 2014 and building the technical base that would carry into later projects.
