MEET OUR TEAM
Linda Donovan has been passionate about winemaking since she started her degree in fermentation science (UC Davis) in 1990. While working her "way up" in Napa and on the true Sonoma coast, Linda explored many wine-growing regions around the world. After a stint in Western Australia (Margaret River), Linda chose to pioneer the Rogue Valley in 2001. "At that time, there were 5 wineries here, and no one was growing the varietals I wanted to make," said Linda. So she planted them.
Shamrock "Shamps" Donovan is our loyal and friendly Canine Tasting Room Ambassador. Shamps can be found playing in the tasting room or supervising work up in the office. If you stop by for a visit he will be eagerly waiting to greet you with a tail wag, be sure to come and tell him hello!
