Casey Stringer was raised in the Midwest by a family of food and wine lovers. He discovered his passion for wine during an unexpected stop in Napa, while on college-visiting trip to the Bay area. Enchanted by the region’s relaxed lifestyle and scenic vineyards, he returned home inspired and took a job at a local wine shop to learn all he could about wine. Though he initially pursued photography in college in Santa Barbara, a winery job shifted his focus entirely to winemaking. Over the next decade, Casey gained hands-on experience at wineries in Napa, Oregon, and New Zealand—where he also studied winemaking formally—before returning to California to work at the acclaimed Jonata winery. After a brief hiatus from the wine industry to work for his families manufacturing business, wine called him back. Casey returned to California to start Stringer Cellars with his wife, Brooke, and their two sons to continue his winemaking journey.
