WHO: Winemaker Robert Foley began his winemaking career in 1977, working at Heitz Winery then helped to establish Markham Vineyard where he developed the style of Merlot that became a mega-trend in the 1980s. Following his success at Markham, Foley became a winemaker for Pride and Paloma, for which perhaps he is best known.
