About Us
Amy & Milan Rubenstein, the Proprietors
and visionaries of Milan Vineyards, oversee all winery operations. Amy spent the past two vintages working alongside Winemaker B. Alan Geddes at the vineyard dedicating herself to the cultivation, nurturing and development of our vines. Her understanding of clones, rootstocks, growing, blending and aging of the wine helped establish Milan Vineyards as a leading premium winery. This experience, combined with knowledge and research of organic and biodynamic farming techniques, is an invaluable asset. Milan brings international and domestic experience in fine wine management, marketing and sales as well as a deep background in the arenas of advertising and branding. Together with the team, Milan and Amy work to establish Milan Vineyards as a dynamic presence on the national and international wine scene.
B. Alan Geddes, the Winemaker,
Viticulture and Enology expert, began his adventure in the wonderful world of wine 15 years ago as an avid, award winning boutique wine maker. His passion for making wine led him to educate himself in Viticulture and Enology by University California, Davis. There, he became certified as a California State Commercial Wine Judge and serves as a wine judge at the Orange County Fair, California State Fair in Sacramento and various wine events throughout California. He also works as a wine consultant for various worldwide wine distributors. Currently he is an Enology Consultant and the head winemaker for the Milan Vineyards Winery. Mr. Geddes is also a wine educator. He developed and taught a wine appreciation course that specializes in French and Italian wines through U.C.L.A.. He teaches at various times throughout the year when he is not under the "crush"ing weight of his chores at the winery.
