As a teenager playing in local Minneapolis bands, David dreamed of being a rock star. This dream drew him to California, where wine captured his interest once and for all. As the son of one of Murphy-Goode winery's founders, David grew up appreciating wine. In 1997 David was named Assistant Winemaker and in 1998 he set the style for Liar's Dice and the subsequent Murphy-Goode zinfandels. In 2001, David became Winemaker. He likens winemaking to composing lyrics. Finding the words that best fit the tune is like designing a balanced blend or discovering the type of oak barrel that harmonizes with the wine.
