The days are getting longer, and the temperatures are getting hotter – summer is officially upon us! It is always a good idea to have delicious wine on hand while relaxing at the beach or hosting a backyard barbecue with family and friends. Whether it is a refreshing rosé, a crisp white or a flavorful red, Josh Cellars, America’s most popular premium wine brand, has a variety of well-balanced selections perfect for summer events and celebrations.

The Founder

Joseph Carr has spent most of his life working in wine, having started his career as a wine steward at the age of 23, working as a sommelier at leading restaurants across the country, then joining the corporate ranks as a wine executive. In 2002, he gave up the corporate gig to pursue his passion: learning to make wine alongside Ted Edwards at Freemark Abby.  He soon released his first Cabernet Sauvignon under his namesake Napa Valley wine label, Joseph Carr Wines. In 2007, inspired by the rich, elegant, and approachable Cabernet Sauvignon he found in the Red Hills of California’s Lake County, he launched Josh Cellars to produce bold, complex wines that are true to that first vintage.

The Winemaker

Winemaker Wayne Donaldson has made wine for 27 years across the world’s finest wine growing regions. He was formerly head winemaker at Domaine Chandon, Louis Martini, and has years of experience working with growers from the leading wine growing regions in Napa Valley, Sonoma, Mendocino and across the Central Coast. Wayne’s skill and experience in crafting fine wines have earned him dozens of 90+ scores from Robert Parker, Jr., Wine Spectator, and Wine Enthusiast. He began as a consulting winemaker for Josh Cellars in 2011, and soon thereafter became full-time winemaker. Wayne works tirelessly to ensure consistent quality and exceptional taste across the Josh Cellars portfolio, developing award-winning wine year after year.
