I first met Mike Hirby and Shatzi Throckmorton (the proprietors of the winery) when we had the chance to collaborate on a winemaker dinner for one of my clients a couple years ago.
Recently they were looking to update their website with new images and I was looking for subjects to shoot. We decided to make a trade...I would provide them with the images and they would provide me with their wine. If you have had their wine (and if not you NEED to) you will realize that I made out on the deal!
Soon after the shoot they were contacted by Wine Spectator who indicated they were working on a piece about Rhône style wines and asked if they had a photo of Mike (the winemaker)...great timing, indeed.
Here is the shot that ran with the article in the March issue.
You can see a few of the other shots I took on their website here. And here is a shot of Schatzi from the same day...
My first on page photo credit! (albeit dwarfed by peppercorns)
