An Icon that holds up and slam dunks
Fred Scherrer is relentless. With an early interest in alcohol (he began at age 15), Fred began to tinker and he simply cannot seem to stop. Why do it any other way than the best way? As his wife and business partner Judy has noted, “Fred has really benefited from the lack of a CFO all these years”. He spent a decade as winemaker at Dehlinger, and started Scherrer in 1991. Throughout, Fred has thrived on following the path to wines that sing for him, which is rarely a straight line. I dare you to try the current release of 2018 Helfer Vineyard Chardonnay. Before you taste it, you will think to yourself, this wine is old for a current release, and then you will put your feet up and laugh at the old you (the one that thought this wine could be anything less than perfect). Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Zinfandel, Cabernet, Rosé, etc, go through the entire line up and rejoice.
