Pre-law in the mid-1970's, a year abroad in Burgundy shifted the career focus for Jim Clendenen, the "Mind Behind" Au Bon Climat and one of the leaders in both the Santa Barbara and Cal-Ital styles. Garrulous, loud and passionate, Jim was always the center of the party and he left a massive void after his death in 2021. His children, Isabelle and Knox and longtime winemaker, Jim Adelman carry on.
