Morgan Zaninovich announced the appointment of Jim Cahill to the position of General Manager, Domestic Operations.

Mr. Cahill returns to the winery where, under previous ownership in the 80's and 90's, he was National Sales Manager. In the intervening years he held senior sales positions within the wine, spirits and packaging industries.

"My family and I enthusiastically welcome Jim's return. The depth of his experience in all phases of winery operations, marketing and sales, including an advanced degree in enology and viticulture from U.C. Davis, make him uniquely qualified to provide the leadership we need to evolve and grow our business. We have exceptional vineyards, a talented winemaking team, a dedicated staff and family committed to sustainable winegrowing. All the pieces are in place."
