About the Winemaker

Carica Wines’ original winemaker and founding owner is Charlie Dollbaum. As a ‘hands on’ winemaker, Charlie monitors the grapes all summer, checking ripeness and sugar content and then he performs every step of the winemaking process, from crush through fermentation.

Drawing on his science background and over a decade of private winemaking, Charlie launched Carica Wines in 2005 and in 2009 moved from Sonoma County to the East Bay, now making wine at Riggers Loft Wine Co. with a scenic tasting room on San Francisco Bay.
