Graduation Day

This week’s photo takes us back to the graduation snapshot of Executive Wine MBA Cohort 2.  When I found this photo I was struck by the number of alumni who work in the business of production, in addition to those whom I mentioned last week, Stacy Vogel, Towle Merritt and Matt Belli.  

Third from the right, next to Towle, is Brandon deLeuze, Winemaker and Partner at ZD Wines, tallest in the back and center is David Junod, General Manager at Jackson Family Wines, two to the left is Chris Hyde, General Manager of the eponymous vineyard and Director of Viticulture at Hyde de Villaine and finally, second from the left, next to Matt, is Will Thomas, Director of Winegrowing at Foley Family Farms.
