It
was there that his grandfather created marvelous
blends from his estate grown vines, supplying the
surrounding towns with fine Lavezzoli vintages.
This winemaking heritage has been passed down through
the family and continues today through Mark’s
efforts to improve and master this seductive craft.

Wine on the Vine |
A
graduate of UC Davis, Mark continues to master
his winemaking skills through continued education,
enabling him to craft high end wines for your pleasure.
Since his first “crush”
in 1993 with a small group of like minded wine enthusiasts,
he has moved on to help Shadowbrook Vineyards create
a bounty of hand crafted wines made with care. Mark
prefers a smaller boutique winery with a very hands-on
approach. The ability to be involved with the wines
on a daily basis ensures that the wine will be of
the highest of quality when served at your table.
Since
he is part Irish, he also can brew a very nice
dark ale or a traditional stout. However, with
the majority of his blood being Italian, his major
love is crafting wines first for Shadowbrook, and
then for your ultimate pleasure. - Tim Jochner,
