Our Winemakers
I first got involved making wines about 15 years ago. It's was for another local winery. I was not the winemaker, however, I was in marketing. None the less, I was exposed to wine making and wanted to learn as much as I could. Unfortunately, it didn't last too long. But it started a passion that would carry into my life even now. I built a wine room at my house and started collecting wines. In addition, I began making wines at home. I've grown since then. I started Otter Cove Wines in 2004 while managing a mortgage company. I guess I got out of the mortgage business just in time. I started with a Riesling and now I have six varietals. I'm very happy with how Otter Cove Wines has turned out. I have great support from the owners and staff of some of the best restaurants and stores in Monterey County, San Jose, and now Los Angeles. I enjoy meeting people at wine events and talking about Otter Cove wines as well as wines in general. I have been fortunate enough to put my passion into joy for others. This is what life is about. Thanks for visiting our site. Now go enjoy our wines.
