Doug started his food and wine explorations while traveling with his parents at age 14 in France. His passion for food and wine was enhanced as he worked in restaurants as a cook and server throughout his high school and college years. Coinciding with his graduation from UCSB in 1981, his family purchased Wine Cask in Santa Barbara - which quickly expanded to include a simple bistro adjacent to the existing wine store.
In 1994 Wine Cask became one of 74 restaurants in the world to earn the Wine Spectator Grand Award. Doug sold Wine Cask in 2007 after deciding to devote all of his energies to wine making. MARGERUM WINE COMPANY was established in 2001. Doug's philosophy is to return to wine making in its previous form of production - handcrafted and personal.

Very light in the glass, this always reliable white wine starts with aromas of pear soda, red apple and slightly tropical white and green flowers. The texture is taut and dry, with brisk flavors of red apple, seashell, lemongrass and a fast-fading flash of guava.

Barden Wines
Report
Aroma: Complex fruit aromas of burnt meat, mushrooms and blueberries all complemented with subtle wood aromatics of vanilla, toast and stems retained briar patch. A balanced approach between fruit and minerality. There is an earthiness balanced with white pear, bready texture and a high-toned nerviness.
