We are pleased to announce that Anthony Arcudi has joined the Kapcsandy Family winemaking team.
After 20 years working in computer related fields, first as a missile navigation engineer aboard US Navy submarines and later as a product manager for IBM, Tony has decided to transition into winemaking. He graduated from UC Davis in Enology with a Regents Scholarship. After graduating in 2006 he received a Fellowship to train at Maison M. Chapoutier in France’s Rhone Valley.
Tony came to Napa Valley in 2007 and worked as the assistant winemaker at Nickel & Nickel, then in 2009 becoming the assistant winemaker on Heidi Peterson Barrett’s’ team for the last 9 years. Heidi is known as the “First Lady of Wine” and is the creator of some of the most iconic brands in Napa Valley, such as Grace Family, Dalla Valle’s Maya and Screaming Eagle.
We welcome Tony to continue the tradition at the Kapcsandy Family Winery established over the last 16 years by Lou, Louis, Jr., and Denis Malbec, in crafting world-class Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines of extraordinary power and elegance with the distinct terroir of our State Lane vineyard in Yountville, in the heart of Napa Valley.
