Fairly early in my career, I had a passion for wine just as a consumer, and I started to learn about the whole process, starting with a piece of raw ground, and ending up with a work of art in a bottle.

Thanks be to God. Since my leaving the drinking of wine, I do find myself much better, and do mind my business better, and do spend less money, and less time lost in idle company.

I've always been an entrepreneur. I start businesses for a living.

I'm an accidental entrepreneur.

The reality is that I'm making better wine than I thought I would. The whole process is simple but beautiful.

I've been good at product entrepreneuring.

I like to drink young wines, wines which are robust and have a lot of forward fruit to them.

Critics have done the wine industry a lot of good overall.

I've been an entrepreneur three times. I started three companies.

My unrealized ambition is to tend my vines, produce wine, and work like an artisan. I dream of rediscovering the old traditions and customs of wine growing, not necessarily to deny the technology which we have today, but to harness it and work in harmony with nature.
