Vaughn-Duffy Wine Dinner

with

Matt Duffy, Owner/Winemaker

After an internship at Siduri in 2007, Matt Duffy began working at Vinify, a custom crush winery full of people who were living their winemaking dreams. It was an ambitious, contagious environment. The bug bit hard, and it was not long before him and his wife, Sara Vaughn, purchased their first ton of grapes.

Vaughn Duffy, in the Sonoma Valley, is now part of the boom of first-generation winemaking families in California. They feel lucky to be living in a time when hard work, creativity and a little help from your friends can trump the need for huge amounts of capital investment. Two kids who didn’t really know any better can now get their wine on the shelf next to the icons who inspired them to make wine in the first place.
