DAOU Vineyards Senior Vice President Chris Baker progressed from running a fine dining restaurant to representing a wine company with a dedication to producing world class wines with an uncompromising commitment to quality.

3. Silver Oak & Twomey Cellars  – Tim Duncan

Napa Valley’s Silver Oak began over a handshake between two friends with a bold vision: focus on one varietal, Cabernet Sauvignon, aged exclusively in American oak and worthy of cellaring for decades to come. In 1999, Silver Oak established Twomey Cellars in Northern California to craft wines from new varietals and dynamic vineyards. Tim Duncan, son of a Silver Oak co-founder, develops business strategies for both wineries and oversees domestic and international sales.

An award-winning producer of 100% Certified Sustainable wines, St. Francis Winery & Vineyards is located in the heart of California’s Sonoma Valley.

The perfect combination of science and creativity, winemaker Katie Madigan oversees production of top-selling “Old Vines” Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay.

5. Masi Agricola – Tony Apostolakos

Masi Agricola is a wine producer in Veneto, northern Italy. It is famous for its Valpolicella wines—and, in particular, for its Amarone wines—although it draws on a range of native and international grape varieties. Tony Apostolakos comes from a family that originally owned vineyards in Central Greece dating back to the early 1900s.
