TTG #16 ‘Chuck McKahn’

Summary: We couldn’t be more excited than to sit down with Chuck McKahn, partner and winemaker at a McKahn Family Cellars here in the Livermore Valley. Chuck’s career as a winemaker is in the Napa Valley. His career began with an epic opportunity to work harvest at Chappellet on Pritchard Hill under the mentorship of the one and only Philip Titus. It was here that Chuck got hands on experience crafting some of the most sought after wines in the world. Chuck used this opportunity and climbed the ladder after being offered a full time job after his first harvest. It wasn’t long before Chuck had earned the assistant winemaker position which opened the doors to a head winemaker opportunity at William Harrison in the heart of Rutherford.  Chuck has helped the winery Garner a better reputation and reach a total output that has put the winery in a stronger financial position. In addition, he has helped re-shape the winery’s production program to achieve new heights in quality. Chuck is as talented as they come, dedicated to his craft, and is on a lifelong mission to continue to better himself in all things wine.
