Joe Wagner
A fifth generation napa valley winemaker, Joe Wagner has been immersed in every aspect of the wine industry his entire life. Learning the ropes from his father Chuck Wagner, who co-founded Caymus Vineyards with his parents in 1972, Joe gained a love for viticulture and winemaking.
When Joe established Belle Glos vineyard-designated Pinot Noirs with his father in 2001, he took a different approach to vineyard decisions and winemaking than the traditional Burgundian philosophy. Joe threw off wine conventions by establishing his philosophy of “Go With Your Palate,” a simple way of empowering people to drink what they enjoy and not be swayed by others. The style was rich and opulent for a Pinot Noir, and the voluptuous red wax-dipped bottles drove the point home.
