Before we get in to stocks and charts, I just want to thank you for your support all these years. It really means a lot to me. Today I noticed I had 61.8K followers on Twitter! How about that? Leonardo Fibonacci would be proud!
This was my first week back living on the east coast. My 2-year plan to be in California turned into 4.5 beautiful years in Sonoma Valley. This was after spending 15 years total in the northeast between college in Fairfield, CT and over a decade in New York City.
I keep getting asked, “But JC why would you ever go back???” (this is happening at least several times each day).
The truth is that it was always the plan. It just took longer than we had anticipated because life is good out there! It also gave me the opportunity to put my head down and turn, what was just a product back in 2015, to the multi-national business you see today. We went from a one man show to a 10 man global team!
So now, as my wife tells me, it’s time.
I milked it as long as I could, trust me. But it’s the right thing to do so we can be closer to friends and family. California isn’t going anywhere. Plus, we’re making wine from some of the best Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards on planet earth.
We got an acre and a quarter in Calistoga that will produce 250 cases. We’re aging the wine in 61.8% Neutral Oak Barrels and 38.2% New French Oak. We will also be harvesting 38.2% higher elevation grapes and 61.8% down by the creek. I’ll keep you guys posted on the progress. We’re excited!

So I’m back.
I was nervous about how depressed I’d be leaving Wine Country in California to the Northeast right at the start of Winter! Well so far so good. This week I got to ring the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange! That was so cool! [Read more…]
