I worked for his winery for a year, back in the mid-70's, and got to know him a bit, and I can say, in hindsight, it was in no small part his vision and drive, and his success that made it possible for someone like me to even imagine being able to explore winemaking in the manner that I have. He was larger than life, in a way, and we're all better off for his having been among us.
