Episode Synopsis

Our guest Brady Moran of Moran Manor has over 20 years of experience in the wine business, including sales, hospitality and managing his family vineyard.  A summer job working vineyards in the Santa Cruz mountains after high school, coupled with his family planting their own small vineyard in the late 1990s, created a life-long passion for connecting to people through grapes.  After studying at UC Davis and Humboldt State University, Brady came to Napa County in 2005, where he spent 9 years in hospitality, before venturing to Oregon for a 5 year stint in the Willamette Valley.  The pull to return to Northern California remained strong, and Brady and his family returned to Sonoma County and Red Car in the summer of 2017.  Brady continues to organically farm his family vineyard in Knights Valley, and 100% took over the winemaking in 2020.See a video interview with Brady and learn more about the winery on https://cellarangels.com/wineries/moran-manor/
