About

The Enological Edge is a seasoned winemaking consulting firm dedicated to providing expert guidance and strategic support to wineries and vineyards. I specialize in optimizing the winemaking process and elevating the quality of the final product, offering tailored solutions designed to meet the unique goals of each client.

​

With more than 20 years of experience in grape growing and winemaking across Napa Valley, Sonoma, Mendocino, Lake County, Monterey, the Sierra Foothills, and California’s Central Coast, I bring a deep understanding of diverse terroirs and production styles.

​

Beyond working across numerous appellations, I have conducted extensive vineyard and winery trials, further refining my insight into the nuances of site, variety, and vintage. This hands-on approach allows me to make informed, precise decisions that enhance both vineyard performance and wine quality.

​

An acclaimed winemaker, I have a proven track record of crafting award-winning reds, whites, and rosés that consistently earn 90+ point ratings from nationally recognized critics. My experience spans the full spectrum of production—from small-lot, single-vineyard wines to high-quality, appellation-driven bottlings. Having produced wines across a wide range of price points, from $25 blends to $160 flagship releases, I deliver results that help brands elevate quality, expand market appeal, and build lasting consumer loyalty.
