Jayson Pahlmeyer is an American winemaker, wine consultant, and entrepreneur.[1][2][3] He is known for his work in the wine industry in Napa Valley and as the owner of Pahlmeyer Winery.[4][5]
Early life[edit]
Pahlmeyer was born and raised in Oakland, California. He was a former trial lawyer and started growing grapes with John Caldwell in Napa in 1981.[6] Caldwell and Pahlmeyer were the owners of a 55-acre farm in south-east Napa Valley and they started working on planting a vineyard there.[7][8] They decided to plant French Bordeaux clones and worked with viticultural professors at the University of Bordeaux to analyze soil samples and other data from the 55 acre farm.[9]
Caldwell smuggled the “suitcase clones” from Bordeaux to the country through Canada and they were later caught by the authorities but managed to keep the French clones and subsequently planted them.[10][11]
Career[edit]
In 1986, Pahlmeyer produced the first vintage, the Pahlmeyer Proprietary Red, with winemaker Randy Dunn and immediately sold every bottle made.[12] Three years later, Bob Levy began making the wines and Pahlmeyer sold the first vintages of Pahlmeyer Chardonnay.[13] Later, Pahlmeyer worked with Helen Turley to develop the Pahlmeyer estate into the vineyards at Waters Ranch where Pahlmeyer planted red Bordeaux varieties and Chardonnay.[14]
In 1998, Turley helped Pahlmeyer find an organic farm that was available for sale on the Sonoma Coast.[15] Pahlmeyer created Wayfarer Vineyards with the help of David Abreu, planting Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.[16] The Sonoma Coast property became the source for his company’s Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines under the Wayfarer label.[17]
Pahlmeyer has been considered a major name for his work in the Napa Valley. [18] He launched the Jayson by Pahlmeyer label in 1992 and began producing Sauvignon Blanc under the label in 2017.[19]
In 2018, Pahlmeyer partnered with ex-NBA player Dwyane Wade to create the Wade Cellars wine label.[20][21]
Retirement[edit]
In 2017, Pahlmeyer announced his retirement and appointed Cleo Pahlmeyer as president of the company.[22][15]
