Summary: I caught up yesterday with Qupe founder Bob Lindquist, who recently announced that his 36-year-old Santa Barbara County winery had been sold to Vintage Wine Estates. “It’s all real new, but obviously the situation with Terroir was pretty well documented,” he said. “It was not going anywhere positive.” Lindquist was referring, of course, to Qupe’s previous sale. In 2014 he sold a stake to winery investment firm Terroir Life.
