Beringer Blass' Californian based winemaker, Toni Stockhausen comes from the soundest winemaking stock being the daughter of the legendary Karl Stockhausen, winemaker for Lindemans in the Hunter Valley for many years.

After stints with Tisdall and Jamiesons Run, one of Toni's greatest triumphs was the 1996 Mount Ida Shiraz, which won gold at the 1997 Royal Brisbane and Royal Melbourne Shows. Toni is now in charge of the Bayliss & Fortune range in the US.
