Tim Gorman started tending the family vineyard
in 1986, shortly after graduating from James Madison University.
In 1991, he enrolled at Virginia Tech to learn more about the science
of growing grapes used for winemaking. He received a bachelor’s
degree in horticulture, cum laude, in 1993.
After his time at Tech, Tim returned to the vineyard and began experimenting
with trellising systems, as well as adding acreage and more varietals
to the Cardinal Point estate. Over the next ten years, Tim gained
a reputation as an expert and innovator in his field. He served as
president of the Virginia Vineyards Association from 2000 to 2002,
and was appointed to the Governor’s Wine Study Commission.
In 2002, the Gorman family decided to open their own winery. Tim’s
years in the vineyard as a respected grape producer have served him
well as Winemaker at Cardinal Point. The quality of the grapes has
everything to do with the quality of the wine, and his award-winning
vintages are evidence of his skill both as a grower and as a vintner.
He looks forward to discussing his wines and answering your questions
when you visit.
