Mike Scott,
Six Gates Vineyard
| |
Mike Scott grew up on his family’s farm in Petaluma on the western slope of Sonoma Mountain. His father, Mark Scott, was one of the first to plant grapes at a higher elevation in the Petaluma Gap. His father doesn't drink wine, but he planted wine grapes because they were a higher-value crop that he figured would help make the farm more profitable. For years they have sold their grapes to Flowers, Sterling, Diageo and other award-winning wineries. But when Mike was a young man, Mark told him he had to leave the farm for a better life. So, Mike went off to college and then on to get a doctoral degree in Engineering. Today Mike is CEO of one of the fastest growing tech companies in Utah. He also bought the family ranch, now called Six Gates, so that his father could retire, and they could keep the land in the family. Here’s their story. | | |
