Makers' Stories
Mike Davis
— The world has set the ‘Napa Valley’ bar very high and every harvest we must produce our best wines to keep pace.
If you could open a bottle of your wine and share it with any three people (living or not), who would they be?
Jesus, Attila the Hun and Leonardo da Vinci.
What's one thing people would be surprised to know about you?
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.
If you weren't a Napa Valley vintner, what would you be doing?
Growing Kona coffee in Hawaii or growing something somewhere in the world.
Name a Napa Valley vintner who has influenced you and briefly explain why.
Bill Harlan. He came from a non-winery industry and had a vision. He developed his vineyard and winery to create a fantastic brand.
