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.
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.
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.
