We are fueled by the possibility of discovering something new. It’s in our heritage, and in our DNA. We are here to make wine our way: without compromise. To create something exceptional.
Our Founders
When Arpad came across the coffee table book, Fatal Harvest: The Tragedy of Industrial Agriculture, it literally changed his life.
After briefly considering a long-line swordfishing career in his home state of Maine, Michael headed west to California, where restaurant work piqued his interest in winemaking.
Peter began his adventures in wine as a teenager, suckering and tying vines and driving irrigation tractors during summers in the vineyard where his father grew grapes for Napa Valley wineries.
Our Team
For Alex Beloz, a college apprenticeship in Siena, Italy was the beginning of a love affair with wine culture that persists to the current day.
Winemaker
I play the banjo and as a wise man once said, "A gentleman is someone who knows how to play the banjo and doesn't."
Production Director and R&D Winemaker
After a failed education in Baking and Pastry arts, I was inspired by a more useful kind of fermentation—of grapes. Balthazar, Hemingway, and Jimmy Buffett's "Tin Cup Chalice" all brought me to where I am today.
National Accounts Director
I have an overdeveloped ability to nickname my family's outfits. Examples? Comfortable Sea Monster, Detective in a Mid-sized City, Custom Cabinets, Janice.
Experience Director
Everyone calls me “Guapo” (handsome).
Cellar
I'm a cellar worker. I'm the assistant to the assistant of the assistant. I top barrels, rack wines and fill barrels. My favorite part of the job is during harvest, when I prepare yeast for fermentation.
Cellar
As a baby I crawled backwards first. I learned to rock climb blindfolded while sabering a bottle of Champagne...ok, not together but they did happen.
Grape Nut
I was suspended from preschool.
Your New Best Friend
Born in the Midwest, powered by spreadsheets, 90s hip hop, and Champagne—and a firm belief that good wine, good music, and a day at the coast can fix anything, except my habit of saying 'ope' when squeezing past people
Sales Director, Western US
Cellar
You could say I'm a 'wanderlush'... always looking for my next travel adventure and glass of wine.
Soil Mate
Some of my favorite things include hiking with my dog Harper, cycling classes, and a glass or two of bubbly on the weekends. Maybe not all at the same time but I wouldn’t be opposed to trying…
Direct to Consumer Coordinator
I like to change lyrics to popular songs and sing them to my Pomeranian, Ginger. Like “Sweet Ginger-Pie” to the tune of Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline,” and “Ginger Gee” based on Grease’s “Sandra Dee.”
Customer Relations Director
My brother worked in a winery and would bring wine home. Sometimes I would steal a bottle to share with my friends. We didn’t like the taste of wine, so we would mix it with soda. I’ve come a long way.
Cellar Foreman
I love my Pitbull Lillian and fine art in the form of tattoos.
Accounting & Sales Associate
I got my start in this business as cashier at my father's cheese shop. I was around seven.
General Director
Not all people from Napa are in the wine business, but I’m from Napa … and in the wine business.
Financial Controller
