I've known Jamie for many years, before he actually decided that winemaking was going to be his next career path. A fun read and after several years of good Pinot Noir, he is now making some brilliant juice, personally sourced from a handful of vineyards in CA. His first vintage coincided with this website's beginning, so it has been fun following one another's progression. His 2009's are amongst the top Pinots produced in the USA, imo.
