Kirk Vegne has been crafting wines since his childhood with his “famous” dad Nils Venge (first 100 Point winemaker in the Napa Valley, 1985 Groth Reserve). Nils told me some years ago that Kirk is a better winemaker than he’ll ever be – big statement! Kirk also makes the wines for Macauley, Venge, Honeycut, Jax, Igenous and I am sure I am forgetting some, but not a bad portfolio for a guy in his late 30’s! He has been at the helm at Trespass since its inception a good 10 years ago!
