Jerome Julian Lohr (born January 1, 1937) is an American real estate developer, agriculturist, and winegrower. [2] Lohr is the founder of J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines, a winegrowing, and winemaking company based in San Jose, California. J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines operates vineyards in the Paso Robles AVA in San Luis Obispo County, Arroyo Seco AVA in Monterey County, and the St. Helena AVA in Napa Valley, California. Lohr has earned a reputation as a pioneer of winegrowing on the Central Coast of California. The Jerome J. Lohr College of Engineering opened at South Dakota State University (SDSU) in June 2013 in his honor. [3]

Early life and education

Lohr was born to Walter and Frances Lohr in Clark, South Dakota. He grew up on their family farm in Raymond, South Dakota, with his four siblings Alan, Sharon, James, and Lynn. [2] During his senior year of high school, he attended an event at SDSU and won the Edgar M. Soreng full-tuition scholarship for his first year of college. [4]

During his freshman year, he joined the Air Force ROTC program at SDSU, a requirement for males in the 1950s. Lohr was named Distinguished Air Force Cadet in the ROTC program. U.S. Senator Karl Mundt nominated Lohr for admission to West Point. South Dakota Rep. Harold Lovre nominated Lohr for admission to the Naval Academy. Lohr declined the invitations and continued his studies at SDSU. [5]

Lohr worked part-time as a surveyor during college for J.T. Banner and Associates, an engineering and consulting firm. In 1958, Lohr earned a degree in civil engineering from South Dakota State College, now South Dakota State University (SDSU). He then earned a Master of Science in Civil Engineering from Stanford University in 1959. [6]

Engineering career

After pursuing[ clarification needed ] a Ph.D. in civil engineering at Stanford University until 1961, Lohr began active-duty service for the U.S. Air Force and served as a research scientist at the NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California. [7]

Lohr was honorably discharged, with the rank of captain, from the U.S. Air Force in 1964. He continued as a civilian research scientist at NASA Ames until 1967, focusing on "heat shield technology" for crewed U.S. spacecraft, including the Apollo 11 mission in which man landed on the moon in 1969. Lohr also focused on improving the efficiency of solar panels that powered satellites. Lohr earned a U.S. patent in his name for his "energy damper system" to reduce that oscillation. [8]

Before leaving Ames, Lohr realized that the population of what is known today as Silicon Valley was expanding and that people would need more homes. [9] He partnered with Bernie Turgeon to create Saratoga Foothills Development Corp., a custom home building business, in 1965. From 1963 to 2003, Lohr's homebuilding business built over 900 custom homes and 15 apartment and condominium projects in Santa Clara, Alameda, and Monterey counties. [10]

Winegrowing career

During the late 1960s, Lohr began a decades-long investigation into the winegrowing regions of California. Lohr developed his first 280-acre vineyard in the Arroyo Seco region of Monterey County in 1972. [2] He is credited as being among the first to realize the potential of Monterey County's soil and climate for growing white wine grapes. In 1986, Lohr expanded operations to the Paso Robles AVA of California by planting Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and other red varieties. [11]

"What Robert Mondavi was to Napa Valley, Jerry Lohr is to the Central Coast, leading and elevating an entire viticultural region from Monterey County to Paso Robles with perseverance, dedication and a passion for quality," said Adam Strum, the chairman of Wine Enthusiast Companies. [12]

In 1975, Lohr co-founded and was later chairman of Monterey County Winegrowers, which eventually became Monterey County Vintners and Growers Association. Lohr is a former director and chairman of Wine Institute and was a founding member of Wine Vision, which promoted making wine more a part of American culture. Lohr also was founding chairman and former director of the National Grape and Wine Initiative, now NGRA, or National Grape Research Alliance. [13] [14]

J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines owns and cultivates over 4,000 acres of vineyards across the Paso Robles AVA in San Luis Obispo County, Arroyo Seco and Santa Lucia Highlands AVAs in Monterey County, and the St. Helena AVA in Napa Valley, California. [15]

In 2013, Lohr's son, Steve Lohr, succeeded his father as CEO of J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines. Jerry Lohr continues his work as an advocate, philanthropist, and educator in the wine industry and at his alma mater, SDSU. [16]

Philanthropy and university leadership

In 1976, Lohr was among the original donors for the new Alumni Center at SDSU. Lohr joined the SDSU Foundation in 1987 and served as its chairman from 1992 to 1994. He funded the Jerome J. Lohr Award for Volunteer Leadership. [7]

Lohr is former chairman of the UC Davis Executive Leadership Board, and former member of the UC Davis Chancellor's Advisory Committee. [7]

Donations to National Breast Cancer Foundation in honor of his late wife, Carol, are one of several philanthropic efforts. Lohr has focused much of his philanthropy on his alma mater, SDSU. He contributed to building projects on campus, including $4 million in 2003 to rebuild Stolberg Hall, home of the College of Engineering, where Lohr did most of his studying. In 2004, Lohr's $2.3 million donation built the Jerome J. Lohr Building at the SDSU Foundation. [17] Lohr raised $254 million for other building projects on campus in 2013. In the same year, SDSU named the engineering building the Jerome J. Lohr College of Engineering. [3] Lohr was a donor to the UC Davis LEED Platinum Research and Teaching Winery at the Robert Mondavi Institute for Wine and Food Science. [18] In 2021, Lohr donated $5 million to the Jerome J. Lohr College of Engineering's endowment. [19] In 2021, Lohr donated $2.5 million to fund the Justin and J. Lohr Center for Wine and Viticulture at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. [20]

Personal life

Lohr lives in Saratoga, California, where he lived with his first wife, Carol Waldorf Lohr. [2] They met when they both attended Stanford University and married in 1959. Lohr had three children with Carol; Steve, Cynthia, and Lawrence, all of whom share ownership of and manage J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines. Carol Waldorf Lohr died in 2008 from breast cancer. [21] Jerry and the Lohr family have released two wine brands highlighting "Carol's Vineyard", the vineyard named after her in the St. Helena appellation of Napa Valley. [2]

In 2009, Lohr married Jolene Johnson Barber, whom he dated while attending SDSU. They were married at Jolene's church in Garretson, South Dakota. [22]

Arroyo Grande Valley is an American Viticultural Area (AVA) located in San Luis Obispo County, California approximately 12 miles (19 km) southeast of the county seat San Luis Obispo. Arroyo Grande Valley was recognized on February 5, 1990 by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) as the state's 60th AVA based on the petition filed in 1987 by Don Talley of Talley Vineyards and William S. Greenough of Saucelito Canyon Vineyard for the establishment of the "Arroyo Grande Valley" viticultural area in San Luis Obispo County. The 16 miles (26 km) long, approximately 67 square miles valley appellation benefits from its east-northeast orientation allowing the breeze from the Pacific Ocean to moderate the climate of the area. The valley is divided by a fog line produced by the cool maritime layer where Zinfandel, Petite Sirah and Rhône varietals are grown on the higher elevations near Lopez Lake and the cooler mid-valley vineyards being home to Chardonnay and Pinot noir. On April 8, 2022, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) approved the designation of the expansive San Luis Obispo (SLO) Coast AVA overlapping the boundaries of Edna Valley and Arroyo Grande Valley viticultural areas because they share common features. However, these two previously established areas still have unique characteristics to retain their viticultural area distinctions within SLO Coast. Edna Valley lies immediately to the northwest, the Los Padres National Forest straddles the north leg boundary, the Santa Maria Valley AVA lies to the southeast of Arroyo Grande Valley, and the Pacific Ocean communities of Oceano, Grover City and Arroyo Grande abut its southwestern border.

Monterey AVA expands approximately 360,000 acres (560 sq mi) with about 40,000 acres (16,000 ha) of cultivated vineyards. The AVA includes parts of the Carmel and the Salinas valleys containing five smaller American viticultural areas: Arroyo Seco, Hames Valley, San Bernabe, San Lucas and Santa Lucia Highlands. The northern portion is a cool growing region with a very long growing season. Daytime temperatures rarely exceed 75 °F (24 °C) in most parts of the region, although the southern segments of the AVA can measure 100 °F (38 °C) at times. The soil is sandy loam and most regions require irrigation from the Salinas River.
