John York assumed full time responsibilities as winemaker for Pamo Valley Winery in 2007. John is a Ramona resident and operates Hellanback Ranch Vineyard with his wife Paula Payne.  John was also elected as the new President of the Ramona Valley Vineyard Association in 2009. John and Paula, as well as several of their family members, have been helping with Pamo Valley's harvests since 2004.  In 2007 Pamo Valley had an ownership transition at which time John was asked to share his passion of wine with us, and become our new winemaker.  John's knowledge, perspective, focus on quality and incredible palate brings a unique and sophisticated wine making style to Pamo Valley. We are extremely pleased with our 2007 and 2008 vintages, and look forward to an enjoyable and rewarding future of making the best quality, local wines you'll find in all of San Diego County!  Our shared passion for making premium wine is reflected in John's marketing and advertising concept of "Wine Is Sexy - pour some of our passion tonight".  For more information on John York and Paula Payne and Hellanback Ranch Vineyard visit www.hellanbackranch.com.  John is responsible for all winemaking operations.  He manages all crush, fermentation, wine movement, blending and bottling operations, and is the person who conducts all laboratory analysis and tracking.  He assists the business owner with Marketing and Sales initiatives, produces winemaker notes, and prescribes all cellar management procedures.
