Murphys, CA - Chuck Hovey, visionary and instrumental member of the Calaveras wine industry passed away on Tuesday, July 30th. Hovey suffered a massive stroke in 2015 that paralyzed the left side of his body and at the time, doctors at UC Davis Medical Center told his family that it was the most massive stroke they had ever seen anyone survive. Wine industry members and dear friends gathered at Murphys Community Park a few days after Hovey’s passing to honor Chuck with stories of his many contributions to the Sierra Foothills wine industry and also laughed about their good times together. Chuck cultivated a spirit of community and partnering in the Calaveras wine industry and it was felt during this intimate gathering. Gay Callan, Calaveras Winegrape Alliance board member and long standing member of the Sierra Foothills wine industry shares her appreciation of Hovey, “Chuck was definitely One of a Kind, not only in his winemaking expertise, but his dedication to family and friends. Over the years, I came to appreciate, and honor the friendship and passion he had for life and his ability to craft award winning wines. He brought so many of us together in our Calaveras community and was always encouraging better winemaking with all of the new varietals that he was able to introduce to our area. He was a very talented man, with many interests, and always had a great story to tell. He will be remembered as one of the best who participated in the pioneering of our winemaking history!”
