Probably Bill Harlan. He came from a non-winery industry and had a vision. He developed his vineyard and winery to create a fantastic brand.

Growing Kona Coffee in Hawaii or growing something somewhere in the world.

I love to design and build things. My grandfather was a cabinetmaker from Warsaw, Poland. He taught me about wood, form and functionality. I inherited his appreciation for the beauty and texture of wood. I’ve made furniture as a hobby in the past, but I just don’t have the time any longer.

In 1981 my girlfriend Sandy, now my wife of 34 years, and I traveled to Napa for a weekend of wine tasting. One afternoon at Sterling we looked south across the valley and thought, “This would be a wonderful thing to be part of, build and own our winery.” It took us a while to get to this point.

It’s the essence of Napa Valley’s mystic reputation. It starts with our location in the world, farming, harvest and winemaking. The world has set the ‘Napa Valley’ bar very high and every harvest we must produce our best wines to keep pace. We have a responsibility to every consumer that walks into our winery to share our wonderful wine, treat them as our guest and give them a remarkable experience to travel home to share with family and friends.
