Michael Zardo has been the Lucia assistant winemaker since 2002. Growing up in the Santa Lucia Highlands AVA, Mike naturally found himself drawn towards wine. His resume includes a B.S. in Enology from the California State University, Fresno. Besides making wine at other California wineries, Mike has completed two harvests in New Zealand. After completion of the Lucia harvest each year, he travels to the Southern Hemisphere where another harvest is starting.
