Owner and Operator of Distant Cellars, a vineyard and winery.I have blended my project management and construction skills with my passion of great wine to bring my four son's families together to develop Distant Cellars, a boutique winery producing amazing bold wine. Amador County has long been known for its bold Zinfandel and Syrah, but recently renowned for producing other great varietals such as Petite Syrah, Cab Franc and Barbara; to name a few. The "Gold Country", as it is known because of the Great California Gold Rush, has long been producing wines, and is in fact one of the oldest wine producing (AVA) regions in the US. Amador is located between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe in the Sierra foothills and home to 50+ boutique wineries which embody the personal wine making traditions and unpretentious wine tasting experience for which California was once known.
