Our Team

FOUNDER & WINEMAKER

McPrice “Mac” Myers was born and raised in the San Gabriel Valley - a former baseball player who discovered wine behind a Trader Joe’s checkout counter and never looked back. No enology degree. No family vineyard. Just a relentlessly curious palate and the stubborn work ethic that doesn’t announce itself. For over 24 years, that approach has produced some of California’s most lauded wines.

OWNER AND STYLE GURU

With a PhD in Molecular & Medical Genetics, Venus has successfully led cutting edge scientific research at two leading biotechnology companies - Regeneron and Amgen.

She even used to host “Fermentation Seminars” for her colleagues – little did she know that this would become the focus of her life! Venus now lends her inventive nature, enthusiasm for wine, considerable business skills and her impeccable sense of style to the McPrice Myers Winery.

DIRECTOR OF SALES

Patrick has a long and diverse history in the wine business. As a career-long seeker of the next great brand to build and story to tell, Patrick began “selling” the idea of winemaker McPrice Myers in 2005. His experience as a distributor, a sales director, and a branding agent for clients has given him, and us, an edge on the front lines of distribution. Patrick has a first-hand, primary understanding of what makes our wines and our winemaking namesake so unique. For this reason and many others, Patrick is able to deliver our message directly, personally, and with authenticity.
