Owner/Director of Winemaking

Joseph is possibly the only winemaker in the world that hails from the country of Belize. 

He began working in a wine cellar two decades ago. It soon became apparent to those around him that he possessed a natural affinity for the artistry of wine making. He would go on to work for wineries such as J. Lohr and Hahn. These days he works as a head winemaker as well as a consultant and troubleshooter for many well known California wineries.

Joseph has recently been featured in the Wine Enthusiast and Wine Spectator. The Wine Spectator included a wine of his in their list of TOP 100 WINES for 2020.
