About Steve Sangiacomo and Dodds Delzell

Steve Sangiacomo is a third-generation partner at Sangiacomo Family Vineyards in Sonoma, California, where his family has farmed since 1927. He grew up on the ranch and began learning the ropes from his father and extended family at a young age. As far back as he can remember, he clamored to tag along with his father and uncles during early morning frost protection, after which he enjoyed a special treat -- doughnuts. He took to the fields early and recalls jumping off a tractor to race to seventh-grade orientation. In his early 20s he began learning the family business from the ground up, and in his 30s he and his brother Mike took over the reins.

Dodds Delzell is a native Californian who currently resides in the charming town of Sonoma, CA. He is a specialist in the ultra-premium wine market and has an extensive background in selling wines from all over Europe and California. Currently, he holds the position of National Sales Manager and Brand Ambassador for Sangiacomo Family Wines, where he brings a wealth of knowledge and fun-loving humor to his role. Dodds is responsible for introducing the brand to savvy wine consumers, trade buyers, and media. He stumbled into the wine business over 30 years ago because it seemed like a "decent" product to sell, not realizing it meant a lifetime of research. Eat, drink, rinse, and repeat!
