About Taylor Berkley Boydstun
Since I began my career in wine in 2010, I have sought to work with top producers around the world from whom I could learn about wines that fit my ethos: managing viticulture in a sustainable way, crafting wine with minimal intervention, and showcasing a unique sense of place in every bottling.
That journey has taken me all over the world. To Central Otago’s Felton Road to learn about their biodynamic farming practices and Carrick Winery to create a different expression of premium Pinot Noir from a similar terroir in the southern hemisphere; to Australia’s Brokenwood to gain access to its long history of wine appreciation and winemaking education; to northern California to study with the likes of Kosta Browne and Littorai, absorbing lessons on the production of ultra-premium wines and expanding my knowledge of and interest in organic and biodynamic farming; and to the Wachau in Austria, where I deepened my appreciation for fine, age-worthy white wines at Weingut Knoll.
I launched T. Berkley Wines in 2016 with the longer vision of a treatise in Cabernet Franc, a grape that both inspired my winemaking journey and that I feel does not receive the attention that it deserves for all of its undeniable potential. I’ve spent years visiting the Loire Valley and tasting the spectrum of wines made there, and access to a selection of terroir-driven grapes has been integral to my process.
About Chef Tim Creehan
Commonly dubbed the Gulf Coast’s “celebrity chef”, Creehan has appeared on numerous television shows, including as host of the Emerald Coast Chefs series. He’s also personally cooked for a slew of high profile celebrities, including Bruce Willis, Jessica Simpson and Rachel Hunter. He served as special chef at the Entertainment Tonight/Getty Images/Gibson Guitar Lodge during the Sundance Film Festival, where he dished up delicacies for the likes of Matthew Broderick, Danny Glover, and Alan Rickman. Recently Emeril Lagasse featured Creehan and Cuvee 30A in an episode of Emeril’s Florida on the Cooking Channel.
Tim Creehan grew up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and trained under Cordon Bleu French Chef Philippe Parola. He went on to transform John Folse’s Laffites Landing into a culinary landmark, traveling across the country cooking in Central Park, Malibu, Hong Kong and Beijing. Creehan invented and patented Grill Plus instant marinade in 1997, and he has published three cookbooks. He is involved in many local charities such as the Destin Charity Wine Auction. He enjoys sailing to wine and food destinations to further his ongoing education and explore the journey of simplifying his life and his career.
About T. Berkley Wines
For me, the question of how the grapes are grown is fundamental. I got my start in the vineyard at Felton Road in New Zealand, attracted by biodynamic farming practices that reverberated in their final wines, and I have since understood that the role of the winemaker that of shepherd – guiding, correcting, and shaping their raw material. In California in particular, too often grape-growing is separated from the wine-making, but the best wines the world over are dependent on cohesion between these two essential halves. Working with small, independent grape growers who implement sustainable and organic practices in the vineyard is fundamental to my winemaking philosophy, and I’m honored to work with a variety of old vine, sustainable sources from Mendocino, Sonoma, and Napa.
In 2018, I was approached to take over management of the Teachworth Napa Valley estate in the Diamond Mountain District, where I can apply my viticultural philosophies – organic with biodynamic influences – to their mountainous estate vineyard situated between 700-1,000 feet and craft a Napa Valley Estate Cabernet Sauvignon each year. It is now also home to T. Berkley Wines, having moved my production there since the harvest of 2018, and I invite you to come and visit me here!
