We have a core group of people who all contribute different skills to the production of the wine, as well as the hosting of the parties we have gotten to be known for.

Mike McCarthy, Our resident chemist who is extremely knowledgable in the science of fermentation. A Chemistry instructor at Cabrillo College he is known for being extremely fickle about volumetric measurements.
Stephanie Berdan, the Biologist by trade, has the knowledge and skills to prevent our wines from being infected by the bad bacteria found everywhere. Her career at a local university has had her published many times.
Jory Berdan, a business executive acts as our equipment manager. Jory has a knack for discretion among people when a conversation gets heated.
Bob Prikazsky, a spitting image for Jerry Garcia, takes care of our day to day monitoring of the wines, as well as offers his residence for our home base.Bob's past life working for Lockheed had him working on many projects to which he could talk to you about but would then need to kill you.
Scott Ebersole, The founder of the group offers some management and some winemaking skills to the co-op. His career as an aircraft technician and pilot brings him to many undesired locations throughout the west coast.
Cathy Bentley Smith, keeps track of our finances.She manages the tasting room at MJA vineyards in Santa Cruz, and is responsible for bringing a fresh approach to events at local wineries.
Bret Smith, was smart enough to marry Cathy so that he would be part of our group. Bret is known for always having a smile on his face, and an absolute pleasure to be around.
Leslie Fellows, will be heading our charge of getting bonded and licensed. Her family runs an up and coming winery in Uruguay, and she is responsible for the distribution within the United States.
Diane Muszynski, A health food sales rep by profession, brings some real sales knowledge to the company. An extremely dedicated hard worker, this winery would be lost without her.
Kristine Ebersole holding JD Ebersole, Brings intelligence and wit to all of our functions. A dispatcher for the county of Santa Cruz, she has stories that would cause even the most stout of heart to blush. JD is part dog and part cat, she is affectionatly known as the DAT of the winery.
Dean Prikazsky, Offers her home, wonderful food, and from her career as a CFO much financial knowledge. Dean will never let this group leave her home without a full belly, and no body wants to leave without having a bowl of her soup.
Kathy Wegan, Our motivator. She will keep the group moving in the right direction, whichever that direction might be.
Noko Berdan, One of the winery dogs. Full of love and good energy he will warm over the non dog lover.
Karin David, Our dear friend who lost her battle with cancer this past October. Karin we will miss you, we raise a glass to you in your cloud top winery.
