Ann and Jack Seifrick, both Ohio natives who arrived in California via many years living, working and raising two daughters in Texas, have combined their love of the Sonoma County wine country with their energetic, entrepreneurial spirits to create Cast Wines. Ann’s background is in finance. Jack’s is in real estate, design and banking. Both are passionate about the people, food, beauty and active, outdoor lifestyle that they have enjoyed while visiting wine destinations around the world. The opportunity to invite a small group of friends to partner and team up with talented winemaker Mike Gulyash to acquire an absolutely beautiful property in Dry Creek Valley and then craft delicious wines to share in a relaxed and peaceful setting has been both challenging and exhilarating. Starting with the 2012 harvest, a small quantity of wines have been produced annually, with release of Cast’s first wines to the public in a new onsite tasting terrace commencing on Memorial Day weekend 2014. The name “Cast” comes from the Spell that was Cast upon us when we first visited this vineyard – a spell that we hope to preserve and share with visitors through our wines and our careful use of the land for many years to come.
