Blue Farm Winery

Blue Farm is Anne Moller-Racke’s winegrowing project, which started in 2007 with her seven-acre home vineyard. The common thread is the rigorous farming and care given to the growing of the grapes. Winemaking is traditional, less being more. A native of Oberwesel, Germany, came to California in 1981 and became vineyard manager for Buena Vista Carneros Winery in 1983. She was named director of vineyard operations in 1988 and was promoted to vice president of vineyard operations in 1997. During that time, Anne worked intensively with some of the industry’s foremost authorities, including Andre Tchelistcheff, Dr. Phil Freese and Dr. Paul Skinner. She helped establish what is now the Carneros Wine Alliance and brought recognition to Carneros as an American Viticultural Area (AVA).
