Dana Bruce – Wine Seminar
Dana was born to the wine industry as the fourth of four sons to David Bruce of David Bruce Winery. Weaned in the vineyards in the Santa Cruz Mountains, he had worked in every aspect of production from pruning, to crush, from barreling to bottle. In the 80's, he attended the crush at Domaine Dujac in Côte de Nuit, Burgundy, France. Until he left the industry, he made 19 different wines at home some of which were not of the noble variety, "I was a student and couldn't afford the better grapes." The whites were made in the style of the great white Burgundies with barrel fermentation and secondary malo-lactic. "It was the only style I knew!" Ironically, he inadvertently produced a couple of French Colombards with this style that passed for Chardonnays in blind tastings.
Today, Dana is an adjunct instructor of photography at Sierra College and a practicing fine art large format platinum palladium printer whose current portfolio will be showing this June at Viewpoint Gallery in Sacramento.
