Many of the more well known vineyards in California are owned by some men that once worked in the corporate world. I genuinely admire their bravery to follow their passion and I personally know how scary it is to leave the guaranteed money behind to get into something that may or may not pay off, just because you love it so much. A few examples of these guys: James Barrett-he owns Chateau Montelana(the man the movie Bottle Shock was based off of) and he used to be an attorney. He now has a movie made about him, and makes some of the finest Chardonnay in California. Another example is Jess Jackson. You may have heard of Kendall-Jackson. Well, he owns this little beauty and he used to be an attorney as well. Also, a man by the name of Brooks Firestone owns Firestone winery..and can you guess what he used to do?? I just think it's amazing.
