MEET OUR WINEMAKER, PAUL MORAN

In 2023 after a 35-year career as a high-tech sales executive, Paul followed his lifelong passion and turned his focus to winemaking. He joined Blackbird Vineyards in Napa Valley as a Harvest Intern, working under the guidance of acclaimed winemaker Aaron Pott. That experience ignited Paul's dedication to the craft, and since then, he has been creating exceptional small-lot wines that reflect both precision and heart. He believes that home-based micro-wineries, when guided by passion and attention to detail, can produce wines that rival the quality of the most ultra-premium estates. For Paul, winemaking is more than a craft—it’s a way to connect, to celebrate, and to bring people together over something truly special.
