Jefferson ran the Liberty Theater in St Helena, Palisades Market in Calistoga, and helped open Taylor’s Refresher in San Francisco before joining the family business. Aside from doing “everything but making the wine” here at Karl Lawrence, he spends his time playing bocce, making beer, and fighting fires at the Suisun City Fire Department.

Mike states that he weaseled a job on the harvest crew at Sequoia Grove nearly ten years ago and has been doing whatever Michael Trujillo asks of him ever since. Mike's driving purpose with Karl Lawrence is to continue to make a consistent product should Michael Trujillo be hit by a train, or succumb to any other unforeseen tragedy.

Pete is a retired labor negotiator of thirty-four years. He finally wanted to put smiles on people’s faces. So he decided to start pouring wine. It’s a change from the world of suits. He now wears sandals; lose fitting black shorts (really a swimming suit), and his Karl Lawrence cap. Instead of dealing with labor relations, he talks about Karl Lawrence and how it fits in to the more than one and a half centuries of winemaking in the Napa Valley. (Ask him to tell you about the Gallo’s in Napa Valley back in the ‘50's and ‘60's.)

A recent graduate of CU in Boulder, Nicholas is putting his newly confirmed skills to work in maintaining our blog and facebook pages. He is home now and helping the Behrens' with harvest.
