01 V. Sattui Winery of Napa Valley selling direct-to-consumers for 30 years - Tom Davies
Tom Davies, President, V. Sattui Winery of St. Helena, has been on the same job for 30 years! That's rare these days. In 1976, Dario Sattui, great-grandson, reopened V. Sattui Winery, originally of San Francisco, as the 46th winery in the Napa Valley to come back to life after Prohibition. Dario Sattui founded the St. Helena winery on direct-to-consumer sales, eschewing the traditional three-tier system of national distribution. They farm 75 percent of what they produce.... a significant statement on its own. There's something for every palate, from dry to sweet, red/rosé, white and blue, still and sparkling.
