Sean Weir grew up in Sonoma Valley back when it put the “country” in wine country. He enjoyed his first crash course in wine appreciation as a 20-year-old backwaiter at the Domaine Chandon restaurant in Napa Valley. He later worked in Central Coast tasting rooms and winery cellars, completing three tours of harvest duty—one of which was chronicled in his acclaimed winemaking memoir The Mad Crush. Today, he runs a marketing consultancy with his wife Malei in the Paso Robles wine country. Find him at SeanWeir.com.
