After studying chemistry at UC Santa Barbara, winemaker Jonathan Keyes landed his first winery job with California's ultimate boutique winery, Sine Qua Non.  That year the winery achieved 100 points with Jon working in the cellar.  He then traveled to Australia, learning the wine business down under with Two Hands Winery in the Barossa Valley, before returning to assume the position of Cellar Master at Napa Valley's Outpost Wines, under the tutelage of 100-point winemaker Thomas Brown. Jonathan partnered up with Samantha Sheehan, and her brother Trevor, to create Poe Wines. We both wanted to start a label and shared the same vision for what we wanted to craft, explains Samantha.  We both loved the single vineyards Pinots from Burgundy, and believed that single vineyard California Pinot and Chardonnays could express brilliance  as well.
