Heidi Peterson Barrett

Heidi Peterson Barrett grew up in a winemaking family and was destined to become one of California's leading winemakers.  Over the past 20 years she has worked with a stellar client list including Screaming Eagle, Dalla Valle, Paradigm, Revana Family and her own label La Sirena.  She crafts some of the most outstanding Cabernet Sauvignons made in the Napa Valley. In 1998 Robert Parker listed her as only one of two US based wine heroines and dubbed her the “first lady of wine.” As the winemaker for Jones Family Vineyards since our inception she has had complete control over the transformation of our grapes into both our Estate Cabernet Sauvignon and The Sisters.

Thomas Rivers Brown

Thomas Rivers Brown is one of the most exciting young talents in Napa Valley. Born in Sumter, South Carolina, Thomas developed an interest in wine while at the University of Virginia.  Later he expanded his knowledge of wines from all the world's great regions while working at All Seasons Wine Shop in Calistoga.  Beginning at Turley Estate in the late 1990s, and continuing today at Schrader, Maybach Cellars and others, he crafts beautiful wines that speak of the land and conditions that created them.  When asked how he defines great wine, Thomas responds, "I can't really define it, but I know it when I taste it."  2007 will be Thomas's first vintage with Jones Family Vineyards.
