The perfect team — a Sonoma winemaker asked four drunk guys to join a wine co-op, what could go wrong?
Rich Belvini - The Professor
Founder and head winemaker of the co-op, Rich teaches the 4 drunk guys the art of winemaking through hands-on experience. He also handles all the ‘mathy’ stuff that goes into wine making. His Italian forefathers were all winemakers and now it’s his turn to carry on the family tradition.
Glen - Mr. Hollywood
Always adorned in a black turtleneck (convenient for hiding red wine stains), Glen is the fancy one of the group. He rubs shoulders with celebrities and can always be counted on for telling a great story.
Tom - The Gambler
Tom is known for many things, cooking delicious food, driving an old Cadillac, betting on horses, and having a loud voice that can carry over far and vast lands. This comes in handy when the co-op is out in the vineyard; the guys always know where he is. His wine motto is “quantity over quality” and would happily bottle his wine in old Carlo Rossi jugs sealed with duct tape in lieu of a cork if his wife would allow it.
Mike - The Comedian
Brewing beer came first for Mike, but with the help of the professor, he's been transitioning that knowledge into winemaking. Mike is the life of the party and always ready to crack a joke. He's witty and fun and brings a lot of fun (and inside jokes) to the co-op.
Dave - The Start-Up Guy
Utilizing his skills as a start-up guru, Dave is helping the guys navigate the business world. Born and raised in Southern California, the call of the Giants, mountains, and excellent wines converted him into a Northern California kind of guy. Always surrounded by dogs, he's the most lovable one of the group. Don't worry, the dogs are not allowed near the wine barrels (no dog hair allowed!). When he's not helping the guys in the co-op, he escapes to Dave-land to ski.
