1949-2020
A good friend and a mentor
Co-founder and the original winemaker of Dokdo Winery since 2008
Without Robert Shawn Denkler, Dokdo Wines would not be in existence. After being prompted by a brief explanation of the Dokdo Wine project in 2007, he proactively researched about the Dokdo Islands at the Napa County Library, and truly understood and embraced the history and the significance of the Dokdo Islands.
