Guy Riedel - Owner
Though his day job for the past fifteen years has been producing motion pictures such as WEDDING CRASHERS, CLOVERFIELD, ROCKY BALBOA and OFFICE SPACE, his love for wine and the production of a number of successful amateur vintages propelled him to start a commercial wine company.  The combination of the hands on success and failures at his home winery, the guiding wisdom of Kian Tavakoli and the state of the art Crushpad facility, promises to get the most out of every vintage year.  

Kian Tavakoli – Consulting Winemaker
Before joing Crushpad, Kian most recently was the winemaker at Clos Du Val where he ran their red wine program – including their highly-acclaimed reserve bottling. Before joining Clos Du Val in 1996, Kian spent four years learning cabernet winemaking at Opus One. With over 10 years of winemaking, operations and viticultural experience, Kian brings a stellar combination of sensory and production skills to his efforts as consulting winemaker for Guy Riedel Wines.
