"Tracing Jack Cakebread's legacy, I note that Cakebread Cellars released its first vintage in 1973, and under Cakebread's guidance the winery helped popularize the connection between wine and food—he organized the first American Harvest Workshop in 1987 and later served as president of both the Napa Valley Vintners and the Winegrowers of Napa Valley—marking a transformation from car repairman and photographer into a celebrated Napa Valley vintner." - Dianne de Guzman
