Marco DiGiulio, Bordelaise Wines

Marco developed an in-depth knowledge of winemaking and viticulture through education and experience in the industry. He graduated with a degree in Fermentation Science from the University of California at Davis in 1985. After two years at Buena Vista Winery, Marco worked as cellar master at Pine Ridge Winery for more than four years. He next served as the production manager for Atlas Peak Vineyards, followed by his 1994 appointment as winemaker for Pezzi King Vineyards. Just before the 1995 harvest, he became the winemaker at Pepi Winery in Oakville. While making Pepi Wines, he also took charge of the Lokoya brand after the death of celebrated winemaker and mentor Greg Upton. It was at Lokoya that Marco's reputation for making world-class Cabernet Sauvignon was first established when his 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon received an unprecedented 98 points in the Wine Spectator.
Most of Marco's wines score consistently in the 90's among top critics, and in November 2007, the Wine Spectator named Marco DiGiulio "one of Napa's leading wine consultants". His wealth of experience and love of winemaking enables him to craft the finest wines from the rugged landscape that provides his inspiration.

Anthony Austin, Burgundian Wines

Born and raised in Healdsburg, California, Anthony studied enology at the University of California, Davis, and continued his studies under the legendary winemaker Andre Tchelistcheff. Serving as a consultant to Brooks Firestone on a project in the Santa Inez Valley, Tchelistcheff suggested the talented young Austin as the winemaker for Firestone's new winery. In 1974, Anthony became the first winemaker at Firestone Vineyards in Santa Barbara. During his ten years as winemaker, he helped to elevate Firestone Vineyards and the Santa Barbara region to new heights. Anthony directed winemaking there from inception to 1983.

Anthony sought to focus his talents on Pinot Noir and to this end, he left Firestone (although he continued to serve as a consultant) to start his own winery: Austin Cellars LLC. His Austin Cellars wines won international acclaim and remain highly sought-after collectibles.

In 2001, Anthony was drawn back to Sonoma County and the cold-climate challenges of the Sonoma Coast, and now he specializes in Pinot Noir production for Windsor Sonoma Winery.
