David Sinegal
Vintner and General Manager
Never one to sit still for long, David Sinegal’s work experience runs the gamut from Costco and Frito Lay to start-up and joint venture companies. David is a keen business strategist and visionary with a passion for marketing and innovation. And, of course, an unabashedly obsessive eye for detail.
Don’t let the casual vibe of the Estate fool you. David believes that in order to do anything well, one must be fully invested. That’s why he and his family now live on the property – so he can sleep at the “office.” Being at the Estate full-time inspires David every day to create a 360-degree guest experience that includes exceptional wine, delicious food, and a remarkable environment.

Fueled by his passion for food and wine, Nick pursued higher education, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Enology from Fresno State University. Post-graduation, he embarked on a series of enriching internships with esteemed winemakers across Northern California. With a profound interest in learning global winemaking traditions, Nick embarked on an internship at Vina Cobos, a prestigious winery led by Paul Hobbs in Mendoza, Argentina.

Drawn by the prospect of contributing to the establishment’s growth from its inception, he eagerly joined the winemaking team. Embracing a fusion of modern scientific techniques and time-honored traditions, Nick has played a pivotal role in crafting Sinegal’s distinctive wines, infusing each bottle with passion and innovation.
