ABOUT CHRIS MEYER &amp; CASEY STRINGER OF LUPIN RANCH &amp; STRINGER CELLARS:Chris Meyer brings a unique perspective to the wine world, having transitioned from a successful decade-long career as a professional golfer to becoming a leader in California winemaking. As Managing Member and Director of Sales for Stringer Cellars and a partner in Lupin Ranch, he combines his passion for exceptional wine, food, and hospitality with a commitment to showcasing some of California's most prestigious vineyard sites. Working alongside winemaker Casey Stringer, Chris has helped build a portfolio of highly acclaimed wines known for their balance, elegance, and sense of place. His dedication to quality, relationship-building, and craftsmanship continues to drive the success of both wineries.Casey Stringer discovered his passion for wine during a formative family trip to Napa Valley, where the region's vineyards, wines, and relaxed lifestyle inspired him to pursue a career in winemaking. After beginning his journey in the wine industry at a local wine shop in Wisconsin, Casey moved to California and quickly traded photography studies for hands-on winery work. Over the years, he gained experience with respected producers in Napa Valley, Oregon, and New Zealand, where he also received formal winemaking education. Today, as winemaker for Stringer Cellars and Lupin Ranch, Casey draws on decades of global experience to craft wines that showcase the unique character of California's most celebrated vineyard sites, combining precision, balance, and a deep respect for terroir.
