Rich Parducci, grandson of John Parducci, gets Mendocino Winegrowers’ top honor
Rich Parducci started learning his family’s wine business at 12, in the vineyards, on the bottling line, in the lab, the cellar and the crush pad. Mendocino Winegrowers Inc. has named him this year’s recipient of its George Zeni Award, the group’s top honor. The memorial trophy goes to a winegrower or vintner with an exemplary history of advocacy for and dedication to Mendocino County’s wine industry.
