Wine’s Most Inspiring People: Andrew Quady — 50 Years of Sweet Success

It’s been a heady and exciting voyage for Quady Winery, the first American winery to tack into port with a sweet Zinfandel-based take on the famous Portuguese staple in 1975. Back then, says Andrew Quady, who graduated from UC Davis in 1973 with a master’s degree in food science and a specialty in wine, “There was a lot of excitement around Napa Valley. Wine writers were focused on Cabernet Sauvignon from the Napa Valley and French Bordeaux.”
