introductionSpottswoode Estate’s success is due in large part to a small and dedicated group of individuals who share a passion for producing exceptional wine. Owner Mary Novak oversees all comings and goings and is assisted by daughters, Beth Novak Milliken, who serves as President of the winery, and Lindy Novak who is Spottswoode’s National Marketing Director.
Winemaker Aron Weinkauf, working in concert with Rosemary Cakebread, our Consulting Winemaker, manages all aspects of Spottswoode wine production and Vineyard Management. Supporting him is Assistant Winemaker, Landon Donley.
Rounding out our team, Peah Armstrong serves as Vice President, Tracey Skupny as Sales Director, Tiffany Minnick as Customer Service and Office Manager and Erica Wallenbrock as Direct Marketing Projects Manager. And, finally, we’d like to highlight our dedicated field crew: Jose Luis Lopez, who has worked with us since 1982, and Trino Manzo Llamas, who has worked with us for more than ten years.
“…wines often do reflect the character of the people behind them, and the focused gentility that distinguishes Spottswoode Cabernet most definitely is echoed by the soft determination of the women responsible for it.”
