SPOTLIGHT
Matt Duffy grew up in central California during the 1980’s. Wine was occasionally on the family table and certainly played a role during the holidays, especially when Uncle Bob was present, as he was involved in the wine industry. Gallo was the big player in the area, but it was a Heitz Martha’s Vineyard Cab that really stirred Matt’s soul and led him to start bringing wine when celebrating life’s special moments. Then he landed a job at Twisted Oak, first in the tasting room, then in the cellar, and there it began: his winemaking career had taken off. Then he met Sara Vaughn, and together they decided to launch their own wine brand, Vaughn Duffy Wines. Here’s Matt’s story.
