  Daniel Stotesbery

  National Sales

  As a young boy, Daniel spent hours with his father, Pat, organizing the wine cellar, learning about different varietals, regions and vintages. The summer before starting college, Dan spent his days working in Ladera's vineyards learning about irrigation and planting some of the vines. After graduating from DePauw University, Dan worked at the Chicago Board of Trade trading soybean futures. In April 2006, his passion for wine and the desire to work with his family led him back to Ladera Vineyards and now Pillow Rd. When not on the road working with top accounts, Dan can most often be found in the vineyards with his father.
