Randy Ullom

The Path

At DeLoach Vineyards, the work behind the title was as much operational as it was sensory. Randy Ullom served as winemaker and vice president from 1991 to 1993, a role that tied cellar discipline to broader decision-making. That combination set the tone for a career built on keeping both the day-to-day and the larger structure in view. At Kendall-Jackson Wines, continuity became part of the craft. Randy Ullom joined in 1993 as head winemaker and held that post through 2025; he later served as winemaster from 2019 to 2025. Over that span, the value of the role was measured in consistency, accumulated judgment, and the ability to keep a large portfolio moving with a steady hand. The work was not about quick change but about repeated choices made over time.

The Work Today

At Kendall-Jackson Wine Estate & Gardens in Fulton, the title Winery Ambassador places Randy Ullom in a role shaped by long institutional memory. It is a position that draws on years spent inside the company’s production and leadership structure, with the estate itself as the point of reference. The job is less about introduction than translation: carrying forward what the house has built and representing it with familiarity earned over decades.

Signature

Kendall-Jackson Vintner’s Reserve, Camelot Highlands, and Avant Chardonnay sit within Randy Ullom’s signature wines. Taken together, they show the range of his work at Kendall-Jackson and the way his name is tied to the house style across multiple labels.

In Their Words “My official role is to be like a mentor or a guide or a sounding board for anybody, especially Kris.”
