Richard's Pick

Welcome to (another) new feature on our blog: Staff Picks. As employees of the winery, we are often asked “What do you recommend?” This question is more difficult to answer than you may expect. In an effort to address this question in the best way we know how, we have started a staff picks section. In this section, we will feature one Chatham Hill employee and their favorite wine. You will also have the chance to learn a little more about the employee we feature.

First up is Richard Maestri: Cellar Assistant. Richard has worked at Chatham Hill for almost 5 years. Richard is the festival coordinator; he assists Marek in working with the wine, and he helps with the general operation of the Winery. In his spare time, Richard likes to play basketball, go snowboarding, and drink as much wine as possible.

Here is what Richard has to say about his favorite wine:

“The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon is, by far, my favorite wine. The 07 Cab has nice black currant flavors and an extremely long lasting finish. The 07 Cab has lots of plum, black cherry, and light oak flavors. I love having a glass of the 07 Cab with pepper crusted ahi-tuna.”
