Seeking a greater challenge and wanting to diversify my approach to winemaking I launched my consulting business in 2001. As crazy as it sounds this was done simultaneously while juggling my numerous responsibilities working with Paul Hobbs.
While not widely known outside of the winemaking circles of Napa & Sonoma, I have the honor and pleasure of making wine for a small number of boutique wineries. Not only does it afford me the opportunity to work with a number of talented and interesting people it also gives me a chance to work with fruit from a variety of appellations.
My current client list includes: Robledo Family Winery, Baldacci Family Vineyards, Longfellow Wine Cellars & Sharp Cellars (pinot noir, only).
As a result of my consulting work I have a chance to work with fruit from the Stag’s Leap District, Coombsville, Los Carneros, Russian River Valley, Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma Coast & Sonoma Mountain. Ultimately, the experience gained from these endeavors will make me an even better winemaker.
