The encyclopedic winemaking knowledge of Bonny Doon Vineyard’s “president for life” is an asset, sure. But Grahm’s true genius is in building zany fun into good wine. Bonny Doon bottles have been paired with alien ray guns, and the winery’s Death of the Cork parties (Grahm’s a proponent of screw caps) were the funerals of the century. Grahm’s irreverent newsletters unstuff oenological stuffed shirts. www.bonnydoonvineyard.com or 831/425-3625.
