BRADLEY GRAY

Living and working in the town of Sonoma, Bradley Gray is well versed in the unique and diverse character of the Sonoma Valley, as well as its rich viticultural history. The valley itself is host in part to several AVAs, including Sonoma Mountain, Carneros, Sonoma Coast, North Coast and Bennett Valley.
Bradley has been writing about the Sonoma Valley wine industry for several years, and his weekly wine column appears in the Sonoma Index-Tribune. His work has also appeared in the Sonoma Valley Sun, FineLife, Vogue, Wine Spectator, Grapelive.com, The Wine Report and Grapevine Magazine (published by the Sonoma Valley Vintners and Growers Alliance).
Professionally, his wine background is in public relations, where he owns Gray Matters Communications, a wine related PR firm. Prior to that, he served for six years as the Public Relations Director at Schug Carneros Estate Winery, and Operations Manager of the now-defunct Carneros Alambic Brandy Distillery. He was a founding board member of Hospitality de los Carneros and often speaks to groups about Sonoma Valley wines and wine marketing.
Bradley attended San Diego State University, where he studied marketing.
In his spare time, Bradley is an avid vintage automobile racer. He also enjoys cycling, playing guitar, collecting estate wristwatches and of course, wine.
