Glen began his Agricultural Business studies to become a brewmaster, but everything changed when he took a harvest internship at Wild Horse Winery & Vineyard. He was amazed at the passion, pride, artistry and almost endless potential for creativity that go into the winemaking process in the vineyards and winery. After graduating, he went back to brewing beer, until a chance encounter with the head winemaker of Wild Horse brought him back into the fold. Glen worked his way up around the entire vineyard and cellar to the lab, until 2018, when he accepted the position as the Bordeaux Winemaker for Robert Mondavi Private Selection.

Inspired by the pioneering spirit and legacy of Robert Mondavi, Glen’s winemaking philosophy is hands-on at every step. Whether it’s communicating with growers to ensure they are growing the best fruit, to finding the best tools and processes to encourage the grapes to fully express their unique character, Glen’s diligence results in wines with complexity and layers — perfect expressions of where they’re from, for all to enjoy.
