The people that influenced me on the path to The Grapes of Roth, to whom I owe my sincere thanks:

4. A philosopher for a colleague, Gerd Holfelder
5. Dr. Meurer – Brilliant technician
6. Christian Wolffer – a driving force
7. Richie Pisacano – the perfectionist
8. Estelita “Dushy” Roth – the love of my life who, lucky me, became “the winemaker’s wife” and Indira Isabella Dilini Roth, my daughter, who makes me smile, and who I hope will continue this passion.
9. Gail and Robert Fairbrother – enthusiastic and persistent!
10. Karlheinz Maier, for his humor and great friendship – “mon frere”
11. Marsha Palanci – a great professional and mentor
12. Bob Cartwright – a true “Aussie”, a great winemaker and an inspiration

14. Eric Fry and Russel Hearn – the “Yin and Yang” of winemakers, and Rich Olsen Harbich who helped me get started on Long Island
15. Joey and Marc Wolffer for continuing the great dream of Wölffer Estate and for including me in this special partnership. There is no limit to making even greater wines together!
