People to Know: Merry Edwards

Nearly half a century ago, a handful of women quietly worked their way into the California wine industry. More than trailblazers, these pioneering women helped set the course of the industry for the next 50 years. Along the way, each has become an icon. No one more so than Merry Edwards. Merry has a Master’s Degree from the University of California at Davis. In 1974 she was hired as the winemaker of Mount Eden Vineyards on the Central Coast where the late Richard Graf (co-founder of Chalone) became her mentor, and where she began to forge a new quality direction for California pinot noir. Merry went on to become the winemaker at Matanzas Creek, and in the 1990s began making her own wines. In 2006 she built Merry Edwards Winery in Sonoma’s Russian River Valley, specializing in pinot noir and sauvignon blanc. In February of 2019, she sold the winery to Louis Roederer Champagne for an undisclosed sum. Merry was recently awarded a Wine Business Leadership Award from Wine Business Monthly.
