There is always room for more wineries in California as long as they are willing to sacrifice, work crazy hours, experiment and bring fourth immense passion. Vintner David Sinegal of Sinegal Estate and Details Wines has done just that, and perhaps more. In “wine-years” David is new to the business but he brings years of retail experience and business savvy to the table. No one ever said it would be easy and David stands with every bottle he makes. ‘Cause if it were easy, everybody would do it.

You can hear David on our Vino Lingo Segment defining the term “French Wine Barrels.”
