Dough Winemaker Heidi Bridenhagen brings a solid scientific background to her winemaking, having first earned a B.S. degree in biochemistry University of Colorado at Boulder before spending six months traveling throughout Europe, exploring the wines of France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. Heidi’s goal in pursuing winemaking is to combine her scientific expertise and her creative skills.
A believer in the value of exploration and experimentation, she has spent her career working with diverse and acclaimed vineyards. Most recently Heidi worked with prestigious vineyards in the Sonoma coast, developing a highly lauded vineyard program. This has led Heidi to this new project Dough Wines, where she is utilizing DVWP vineyards and its network of growers and négociants to choose high quality lots from top AVAs, bringing the art of assemblage to life to craft the core wines to be as food friendly as possible.
