The Team

The people behind the curtain

Our team is made up of the most dedicated, hard-working men and women in the wine world today.

Haydn S. Adams

Founder & Chief Architect

Haydn literally wrote the book on Dry Creek Valley. Since then, he has continuously sought better and better ways for people to discover their favorite wineries. His palate is off-the-charts, and has even been known to find bottle shock in wine from simply one taste. You’re bound to find Haydn roaming the countless hillsides of the wine country, except on football Sundays when he is cheering (or swearing) at his favorite football team, the San Diego Chargers.

Robin Barr Sussman

Chief Editorial Officer & Unofficial Rosé Queen

Robin’s palate and knowledge in food & wine knows no limit. She is a wordsmith maestro and when not spitting wine, she is a nationally-published food and wine writer. On those beautiful Sonoma summer days, Robin can be found with her Riedel glass full of a cool & crisp wine.
