The Winemaker
I feel a certain kinship for successful business people who decide to abandon their well-known money stream in favor of their passion. People such as Jeff and Genni White at Ovene Winery.
Although Jeff began his career as a wine salesman, it wasn't until the mid 80's that he began to make wine at home. Jeff enjoys great success at his current job, but his home winemaking grew each year until he finally outgrew his garage back in the late 90's, moving into his first leased space.
The Whites now lease space in an even larger facility, and one where the Whites and their wines get to share knowledge and experiences with the likes of Hitching Post Wines, Red Car, Core Wines, Lane Tanner, Labyrinth and other Central Coast luminaries!
