Michael B. Terrien, Founding Winemaker
After his stints in philosophy and fishing (see Kazmer & Blaise history for more on this), Michael decided that winemaking was on the path to an even more romantic life. After getting his Masters in Enology from the University of California, Davis, Michael joined Acacia Winery where he honed his cool-climate Carneros winemaking skills and rose to winemaker and general manager. His Acacia Pinot Noir was rated among the top 100 wines in the world by Wine Spectator. Currently, he is at Hanzell Vineyards. He lives with his wife Hannah (who doubles as our designer; if you like her work, click here) and their son and two daughters. Since they have so many children under the age of five, they have no pets.
