Winemaker, Sean M Quinn

Like most starving artists, Sean M Quinn waited tables while studying Theater Production and Design at the College of William & Mary in Virginia. While working alongside a prominent local wine director, he was inspired to learn how grape juice could taste so good, and agreed to a two year stint at Williamsburg Winery. After learning everything from scrubbing tanks to filling barrels, he traveled to McLaren Vale, Australia to intern for the following winter’s harvest. The summer of 2008, he ventured out to California, alternating between cellar jobs during harvest and hospitality in the off season. For the next several years, he worked for numerous wineries in the region while earning his Certificate of Viticulture and Enology from Napa Valley College. Since graduating in 2013, Sean has been Cellar Manager at Viader Winery, Winemaker at Hannah Nicole in Contra Costa County, and most recently, Associate Production Winemaker for Amici Cellars, overseeing the custom crush program and bottling for their larger Olema and Appellation Series brands. The opportunity to work with a small estate vineyard in Rutherford, and to be hands-on from vine to wine was an offer he couldn’t refuse. When he’s not making wine, Sean enjoys bocce ball, golf, snowboarding and the occasional sailboat race.
