One was Chateau Lascombes and the other was Prieure-Lichine. During my formative years, my mother, Arlene Dahl, a world-famous actress and author, was married to “The pope of wine.” His name was Alexis Lichine and he owed two wineries in Margaux. What was that exactly, and how did that inspire you further?Ī. I understand as a kid and long before you became a star on the television series “Falcon Crest,” you had a special connection to a famous winery in France. As an invited guest of Frank Vezer to his chieftain ball this fall, I was immediately taken back to memories of being in wine country during my nine seasons on “Falcon Crest.” I really feel that Suisun Valley has a very special place in my heart. Lorenzo, why after such a long time away from Northern California wine country have you decided to come back to your wine roots?Ī. I spent a little time with Lamas over a few days to reach into his thoughts about returning to wine country, more specifically Suisun Valley, after all these years. A special project that’s in the works is the release of a new national wine label, to be unveiled later this year. Lamas will oversee Vezer’s national brand and wine marketing as he works with Jeff Fiest, the man who helped to put Belvedere vodka on the map. Lamas will work with Laura Livadas, Vezer’s president of operations, and Sam Mizarawi, corporate president.

Lamas, in addition to his many other movies and television projects, is also an accomplished helicopter pilot and trainer, race car driver and most importantly, an avid admirer of California wines.
“Falcon Crest” played for more than nine years in more than 200 countries and was instrumental in creating the recognition and prestige that Napa and the California wine industry receives today. Lorenzo Lamas is shown in a photo posted to his verified Twitter account, Friday, Dec.
