Dan leads our winemaking with equal parts precision and passion. From nurturing grower relationships to managing harvest and crafting each bottle, he ensures our wines reflect both the land and the vision behind them. His curiosity and care help shape the future of our portfolio, one vintage at a time.
If you are lucky, you may meet Bruno running about the vineyards or supervising the bottling line. He’s been referred to as a “big baby” and loves to sneak out and greet visitors whenever possible.
Initially working in the tasting room, Jim came to us with a strong desire to learn as much as possible about the winemaking process. He now works in the wine cellar, assisting the winemaking team.
Jim spent 34 years working as an athletic trainer and professor of sports medicine. (Ask him about his time working with the University of Pittsburgh football team and the US Olympic Luge team!) He relocated back to the Finger Lakes with his wife to be closer to family. He loves seeing the art and science of what goes into making a fine bottle of wine.
His favorite wines? Humphreys Vineyard Riesling and Millers Cove Red. Favorite wine pairing? Millers Cove Red with a slow-cooked pot roast on a crisp fall evening.
