It's a sad day to say goodbye to Dan Duckhorn. He was HUGE in getting CA wines on the scene. Thank you Dan.

It is with a heavy heart that we share the news that Dan Duckhorn, our company’s co-founder, passed away today, February 25th.

Like Robert Mondavi before him, Dan helped to change the way Americans think about and enjoy wine. While his legacy will always be rightfully entwined with exceptional Merlot, he was a pioneer in so many other ways that impacted California’s wine business, from recognizing the promise of new appellations to championing innovation. When the history of California winemaking is finally written, Dan Duckhorn will be one of its great names. He was an inspiration and will be greatly missed.

While Dan’s passing is an immeasurable loss for everyone who knew him, and this is a time of profound sadness for all of us at The Duckhorn Portfolio, we know that the best way to honor and celebrate his life is to continue building on the rich legacy he established.

A remembrance board is available online for anyone wishing to share a message or offer condolences: https://www.kudoboard.com/boards/2FrCtPkz/DanDuckhorn

I will be pairing up with Jaya's Indian Cuisine on February 26th, to test my knowledge and take your tastebuds on a journey around the world! Trust the Somm... the flavors will be incredible without the 🔥.

If you haven't tried Indian Cuisine, THIS is your best opportunity to experience the flavors of different dishes. PLUS, the wines I choose will be pairings you have probably never experienced before... you'll be saying 'Do NAAN Stop Pouring'!!
