"Donn and Molly Chappellet founded the Chappellet winery in 1967 at the advice of André Tchelistcheff. Phillip arrived in 1981, working with Donn the next four years. After exploring other opportunities in the late 1980s, he returned in 1990 to become the winemaker. It’s clear he’s become part of the Chappellet family, and it’s unusual to meet a winemaker in Napa Valley without a laundry list of consulting gigs." - Erin Brooks
