Jason Earnest and Dusty Field are big winers.
In 2004, these two friends set out to come up with a great holiday gift idea. They flew out to Napa Valley and created their own cabernet sauvignon, bottled 25 cases, and gave them out to friends and family. “After a few glasses, we realized we really had something,” Dusty says. After bouncing around a few ideas for their label, a 2:30am email exchange finally produced the perfect moniker: Tobacco Road Cellars. Jason says the name represented, to them, “a tradition of excellence.” Like they’ve done with all their ventures – Dusty owns a successful real estate development company; Jason is a serial entrepreneur – they went full-force into Tobacco Road. Their 2005 cabernet sauvignon, “Vitality,” won gold at this year’s Riverside International Wine Competition in California.
What’s your favorite thing about wearing a skirt? Dusty: “The breeze.”
Jason: “I get to show off these legs.”
And about reading skirt!? Dusty: “It helps me get over to my sensitive side.”
Jason: "I read it so I can better understand women - the question is, what will they read so they can better understand me?"
