Arpad G. Molnar, Managing Partner
Still not sure how he finds himself in the wine business, Arpad is the herder of the group and keeps the trains running on time. He was instrumental in getting Peter and Michael to think about making a business out of their little wine hobby and spends his time thinking about strategy, marketing (writing copy!), and finance. Moons ago, Arpad worked for a tiny company called GE and a strategy consulting company known as the Boston Consulting Group, and went to a certain East Coast business school. Arpad traded Silicon Valley for Napa Valley, which he assures you is a good trade. He lives with his wife, his two little boys, and their pet fish Scampers (previous fish Claribel: RIP).
