Behind the Label
NAPA'S NEXT
GENERATION
Ari Spoto

Consulting Winemaker, Spoto Family Wines
How did you get started in the wine
business?
"I was born into it. My dad, Stuart Spoto, and my
grandfather, Henry, both taught me."
Which wine was your "a-ha!" wine - the
one that made you love wine or inspired
you to get into the industry?
"I didn't have an 'a-ha' wine, but more of an 'a-ha'
moment. I attended Cal Poly San Luis Obispo,
and I didn't know what I wanted to do when I
grew up. My grandfather told me to take a wine
and viticulture class. I didn't think I would really
want to study it,
but I humored
him anyway.
I walked into
the classroom,
which was more
of a tractor
garage than a
classroom, and
saw my peers
in flannels and
cowboy boots
without book
bags. The teacher arrived and said, 'Alright, we're
heading out to the vineyard.' From there, we
proceeded to follow Cal Poly's motto of Learn by
Doing with a full hands-on approach to learning
viticulture and enology. After that, I was hooked. I
changed my major and knew wine was the route I
wanted to take."

Located on the scenic Silverado Trail, this boutique winery offers an
unparalleled Napa experience. Visit the tasting room and experience
Conn Creek's small-production AVA Series of Cabernet Sauvignons, or
play winemaker for the day in their Barrel Blending Experience.

What are the most rewarding aspects of
your work?
"There are not many professions where you get
to wake up every day and taste the fruits of your
labor ... literally! This job is rewarding in the sense
where you get to see how your hard work pays
off and make something that most people enjoy."
