EPISODE #10 WINERY FOUNDERS MOST OFTEN ARE NOT THE BRILLIANT BUSINESS FOLKS THEY LOOK TO BE
Episode 10
Monday, 29 December, 2025
Episode #10 is about my thoughts on why most Founders of wineries or wine brands are not the brilliant or savvy business people they would like you to believe they are. No, more often than not, their success, if they have any, is usually attributable to timing or causes outside of their control.I use my experience with Brice Cutrer Jones, the Founder of Sonoma-Cutrer Vineyards, as one example of why I formed this theory. I have said many times in the past that there were two people who were responsible, in my opinion, for the foundational success at Sonoma-Cutrer, and neither of their names is Brice Jones or Fred Reno.Take a listen and see what you think.
