• We’d be remiss not to mention the passing of two iconic California wine legends—Esther Mobley penned a beautiful tribute to Sean Thackrey in the SF Chronicle.
• Martha on the passing of Jonathan Waters: “He was one of the first people that welcomed me into the wine community when I lived in the East Bay (hopped right on into my text messages! And always welcomed a BBQ at our shared Berkeley house). He had an incredibly kind heart. [And he] certainly had an effortless warmth that he shared with everyone—he was the opposite of a gatekeeper in the wine world."
• “I thoroughly enjoyed this podcast I listened to last week [...] Patrick [Cambell’s] journey is inspiring not just from his expertise as a grower-producer/vigneron. He is also one of the champions for the Supreme Court verdict that enabled direct shipping to out-of-state consumers [...] Even more inspiring, he was diagnosed with a severe illness leaving him partially paralyzed with limited mobility and found a way to work his vineyards.” —Imane, Distribution Sales Manager
