Friday Night Kickoff: Wine & Food Affair

Around here, we jokingly refer to Doug as “Just the Winemaker,” but his role at Spicy Vines is far more than just winemaking. Doug brings not only his exceptional talent for crafting outstanding wines but also his fun-loving attitude, charisma, and extensive knowledge that together shape the very vibe of Spicy Vines.

A true artisan winemaker and seasoned vintner, Doug is arguably one of California’s most talented winemakers you may not yet know. With over 200 medals and consistent 90+ point ratings, Doug’s accolades speak for themselves.

Doug’s journey began in the Adirondack Mountains of New York. From there, he moved to New Mexico to study Journalism, which led him to Montana, where he built a successful career in radio and TV broadcasting. Eventually, his path brought him to California, where he discovered his true passion for winemaking. His natural charisma now makes him a skillful wine ambassador with a knack for connecting with everyone from wine newcomers to seasoned aficionados.

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
