Ep 17: 4th Gen Napa Grower Andy Hoxsey Invented Today’s Custom Crush Services
Manage episode 407772493 series 3506579
Andy Hoxsey’s family came to the Napa Valley in the early 20th century and through successive generations have farmed and sold grapes, as well as taken significant entrepreneurial risks. Andy tells the story of his (and the Pelissa family’s) acquisition of Napa Wine Company in 1993, with the expressed intention of creating the first high-touch custom crush business, certainly in the Napa Valley but quite possibly in the world. Napa Wine Co was where such brands as Pahlmeyer, Colgin and the star consulting winemaker Helen Turley incubated their brands. On the podcast, Andy shares some interesting stories from his long history in the wine business.
