Article Abstract:
Robert Mueller began his career in winemaking in 1977, and in 1991, he opened a winery for custom-crush clients. By 1995, he had made enough money to focus on his own label, and his first wine earned a score of 91. Mueller says that he always tries new things within his basic routine, and has consistently produced outstanding Chardonnay.
