Merry Edwards Wine Dinner
One of California's first woman winemakers, Merry Edwards, began her career at Mount Eden
Vineyards in the Santa Cruz Mountains in 1974. She went on to become the founding winemaker at Matanzas Creek in 1977 and remained there until 1984. For the next decade, Merry consulted for numerous wineries, large and small, in Oregon and many diverse appellations of California.
In 1997, family and friends joined Merry to found Merry Edwards Winery, with a focus on
producing Pinot Noirs with a sense of place from Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast.
Living her dream, she and her husband, Ken Coopersmith, now manage five estate vineyards:
Coopersmith, Cresta dOro, Flax, Georganne and Meredith. They maintain collaborative
relationships with several other dedicated growers to supplement this estate production.
In 2013, Merrys 40th year as a winemaker, not only was she inducted into the Culinary Institute of Americas Vintners Hall of Fame, she also won the coveted James Beard Foundation Award for Best Wine, Spirits or Beer Professional in the United States, becoming just the fourth woman to win the honor.
Now in the fifth decade of her winemaking career, Merry has earned the universal respect of
in the wine making community with the grape growers and academicians. A self-described perfectionist, she has constantly refined her vineyard practices, wines and techniques. Merry does not rest on her accolades she grows. People frequently ask what is the best wine I have ever made. I tell them its not made yet!
Merry Edwards is like her wines complex, balanced and memorable. An
intricate blend of artistic vision, scientific training, spirit and grace, she leaves a lasting impression.
