Working with Bill and Joan Smith, formerly of La Jota Vineyard Company, Miller found himself thinking about creating his own brand. So in 2000, with Bill and Joan's encouragement and support, Gary created Miller Wine Works. In turn, since joining Robert Biale Vineyards, where Miller assists winemaker Al Perry, everyone in the Biale family has continued the cheerleading efforts begun by the Smiths.

Being a professional chef, Gary Miller inherently knows that the quality of any recipe and the manifestation of its success are the result of starting with absolutely the best ingredients available. Consequently, Miller has fine-tuned vineyard relationships from the best sources available. These associations provide the quality fruit that begins the process of creating each wine. It is Miller's attention to detail that puts the finishing touches on all that he does...from vine to wine, each step of the way is a class act.
