About Agostino “Gus” Gamba
Agostino “Gus” Gamba’s life-long dream of becoming a winemaker began by a carefully guided apprenticeship with his father at an early age. It was the late 1960’s to early 1970’s when Gamba Sr. first focused his son’s attention from the beginning in the vineyards, cultivating the vines, and later, to the fine artisan skills of winemaking, passing his lifelong knowledge and experience to his young son to produce the highest quality grapes, and later, the finest resulting wines from their historic vineyards in Sonoma County.
He began Gamba Vineyards and Winery in earnest with his wife, Paulette, in 2000, the century age mark of the historic Gamba Estate Vineyard. Today, as the seventh generation enters the family business, Gamba Vineyards and Winery carries forward their solid belief in the philosophy that great wines are first made in the vineyard.
About Chef Tim Creehan
Commonly dubbed the Gulf Coast’s “celebrity chef”, Creehan has appeared on numerous television shows, including as host of the Emerald Coast Chefs series. He’s also personally cooked for a slew of high profile celebrities, including Bruce Willis, Jessica Simpson and Rachel Hunter. He served as special chef at the Entertainment Tonight/Getty Images/Gibson Guitar Lodge during the Sundance Film Festival, where he dished up delicacies for the likes of Matthew Broderick, Danny Glover, and Alan Rickman. Recently Emeril Lagasse featured Creehan and Cuvee 30A in an episode of Emeril’s Florida on the Cooking Channel.
Tim Creehan grew up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and trained under Cordon Bleu French Chef Philippe Parola. He went on to transform John Folse’s Laffites Landing into a culinary landmark, traveling across the country cooking in Central Park, Malibu, Hong Kong and Beijing. Creehan invented and patented Grill Plus instant marinade in 1997, and he has published three cookbooks. He is involved in many local charities such as the Destin Charity Wine Auction. He enjoys sailing to wine and food destinations to further his ongoing education and explore the journey of simplifying his life and his career.
About Gamba Vineyards
The historic Gamba Estate Vineyard, planted in 1900, is among very few vineyards remaining of original plantings by the pioneering immigrants of the turn of the last century. Organically farmed and using only rainwater for irrigation, we are honored to continue to farm and care for this legendary vineyard site, and produce limited production wines for you to share with your family and friends.
Today, we look enthusiastically to the future as our three children are poised to join the team. With a strong sense of the past and an eye on the future, we are thankful and grateful for our family history that put us here today, and we are excited to see what the future holds.

About “Augie” Gamba
Agostino “Augie” Gamba is a seventh-generation winegrower, stemming from a long and storied line of wine grape growers beginning in the hills of Northern Italy. Augie’s earliest childhood memories revolve around wine, having grown up shadowing his father, Gus, in the vineyards and cellar. His involvement and understanding of the business flourished as he grew up; from observing the growing seasons firsthand, and later, working harvest, and involvement in cellar activities, to eventually becoming more involved in the winemaking and viticulture processes. After graduating from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, Augie went to work in sales on the distribution side of the business, and later moved onto work for a prominent Sonoma winery. Augie found his passion in the cellar, and after a year of work in Sonoma County, he completed his first harvest abroad in Burgundy, assisting in creation of Grand Cru wines. Augie has since returned to his roots in Sonoma County, bringing his talents home to Gamba.
A true student of the vine, Augie continues to pursue his wine education through earning his Masters in Viticulture at UC Davis, as well as continuing his studies with the Wine and Spirits Education Trust. Augie hopes to inspire a love of wine for others interested in the wine industry, and continues to bring a unique passion, perspective, and knowledge to his multifaceted role.
