Pastuf started in the wine industry 13 years ago, and 4 years ago, he enlisted his longtime friend Aleks Radojicic and many others to join him as he expanded his footprint in the Industry. In 2017, he brought in award-winning winemaker Tom Montgomery to lead the winemaking dream team. Montgomery who first began his career as the assistant winemaker at Chateau Montelena during the Paris tasting years, is now also serving as head winemaker and professor at Fresno State University. Pastuf said, “I personally started my career in the wine business in 2007 with my first brand Carte Blanc Vineyards. My family has deep roots in the Sonoma and Napa Valley Wine Region since 1957, and I realized that it was an amazing industry filled with many opportunities.”
