Rachel & Sami Ruddick grew up in small town Ukiah, CA where the Ruddick family has been farming pears and wine grapes for hundreds of years.

Knowing they wanted to have a place in the family legacy, (but not yet knowing what that would look like) Rachel got her BA in graphic design and Sami studied ag business, viticulture, and winemaking. Little did they know the two very different routes would lead them to LRW. Besides the winemaking, which is a collaborative effort, Sami manages operations and sales while Rachel handles all things creative.
