Jim Barrett

James L. "Jim" Barrett is the owner of Chateau Montelena which won the Chardonnay competition of the Judgment of Paris wine tasting. Jim first purchased the winery with Ernie Hahn in 1972 from Lee Paschich, retaining him as a general manager, and hired Mike Grgich to be his winemaker. Barrett uprooted the Chasselas, Alicante Bouschet, and Carignane that had been previously planted and replanted his acres with premium Cabernet Sauvignon. The winery purchased outsource Chardonnay grapes while waiting for the Cabernet vines to be ready. [G. Taber "The Judgment of Paris: California vs France" pg 143 Simon & Schuster ISBN 0743247515 ] In 1982, he turned over winemaker duties to his son Bo Barrett.

He graduated with his BA from UCLA in 1946 and his law degree from Loyola Law School in 1950. [Cite web
