Mi Sueno Winery
An Immigrant's Story
The American wine industry, like so many others, is largely the tale of folks exporting their homegrown talents to another land in search of a better locale in which to practice their craft; perhaps a chance to be better rewarded for their efforts and talents. Germans, Italians, Hungarians and French descended upon this country throughout the 19th century bringing with them winemaking and grapegrowing knowledge first honed in the Old World.
Today, the American wine industry is mature to the point that it exports talented folks to other countries where American-grown winemaking skills are applied to other lands. Yet the “immigrants’ story” is alive and well in America in the form of those who come to this country and discover winemaking to be their vocation and who go on to make remarkable contributions. Mi Sueno, the product of Rolando Herrera’s commitment to wine, is just such story.

Herrera began as a dishwasher at Auberge du Soleil in Napa. From there he moved to Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars where he worked as a laborer then as a harvest worker. Having been taken with the winemaking craft, Roland spent the next twenty years diving deep into wine with work at Stag’s Leap where he would become cellarmaster, then assistant winemaker at Chateau Potelle, then Winemaker at Vine Cliff Winery and finally Director of Winemaking at Paul Hobbs Consulting. Today, Mi Sueno is all Rolando. The immigrant’s dream of making wine for himself has become the dream of wine lovers looking for outstanding bottlings.
