Some moments are about more than an award, they’re about a lifetime of dedication.
The early mornings, the long days, the passion for the land, and the relationships built over decades.
Watching Jim receive Grape Grower of the Year was incredibly special. But what makes it truly meaningful is hearing the voices of those who know him best and have worked alongside him for years, the admiration, the stories, the gratitude, and the shared moments.
Jim has always led with humility, heart, and a deep love for Napa Valley and the people in it. A true steward of the land, a mentor, a friend, and someone who continues to leave a lasting legacy for the next generation.
We couldn’t be more proud to celebrate this well-deserved honor!! Congratulations, Jim. 🍇
