I specialize in wine business properties in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada.  My background as a wine grape grower and winery manager allows me to assist you in your wine business related search. The foothills offer terrific opportunity for investment and still represent one of the lowest barriers to entry in the California Wine economy.

I bring a background of vineyard development as well as winery brand management expertise. I am now setting my sight on helping others find the rich viticultural, as well as scenic splendor, of the Sierra Foothills. Areas of specialty are El Dorado and Amador counties, including the Shenandoah Valley, which comprise some of the best Rhone and Zinfandel producers in California. Recent press in the San Francisco Chronicle bears out two facts:  one, El Dorado and Amador counties are still approachable for those endeavoring to get into the wine business, and second, that wines made from these grapes bear the unmistakable mineral characteristics of the best that the Rhone region has to offer. Why? We're not sure but one thing about these counties stands out and that is our soils. Our soils are composed mainly of decomposed granite and are therefore spare.  Such soil types control crop yield and therefore enhance quality. With my own vineyard project I have been able to achieve both the quality and financial goals I had set forth. I've experienced the process of developing a property as well as marketing the grapes. I have a good depth of knowledge concerning what it takes to be successful in wine business.  Prior to developing a passion for wine I was a successful small business founder. My business was consumer software and the company I founded sold millions of units of small business and home office software. These products continue to be sold through popular small business retailers such as Staples and OfficeMax.
