Daniel bell - director of hospitality
Growing up in southern Illinois, Dan attended the University of Illinois and after graduating moved to Chicago where he worked in retail wine (where he first met Michael). In 2017 Dan dove into the production side and has now helped make eight vintages of wines around the world: Chicago, California twice, Oregon twice, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa for some incredible wineries and winemakers like Heidi Barrett, Maggie Harrison, Ehren Jordan and more. Dan's wine knowledge runs deep, adding to our tasting room experience. Dan oversees our hospitality program in both Napa and Tuscany and is currently living full-time in Tuscany.
When Dan isn't hosting he can be found reading, completing NYT crosswords or fishing in Alaska. To contact Daniel or to schedule a tasting in either Napa or Tuscany, email him at daniel@fraiche.wine.
