  1. Winemaker Rajat Parr, Phelan Farm & Parr Collective

    5D AGO

    Winemaker Rajat Parr, Phelan Farm & Parr Collective

    If there is a modern philosopher-winemaker who bridges reverence and rebellion, it is Rajat Parr. Born in Calcutta and sharpened in the world's most exacting dining rooms, Parr rose not simply as a sommelier, but as a quiet architect of contemporary wine culture—championing the expressive over the obvious, the site-driven over the showy. Through Sandhi, Domaine de la Côte, and Phelan Farm, he has become one of California's clearest voices for transparency in farming and restraint in the cellar. His wines feel less manufactured than translated—whispers of limestone, ocean air, and the tensile edge of coastal light. On this episode of Wine Pros on the Go, we talk about place, purity, and the discipline of listening. Because the best wines are not built. They are revealed. This is Rajat Parr.
