Matt Trevisan is the winemaker and owner at Linne Calodo Winery in Paso Robles, California. Along with his wife, Maureen, he has built the Willow Creek District-winery into a really special producer of Rhone-varietal blends and Zinfandel wines. And they’ve been at it for 25 years, constantly tweaking their process and pulling at the thread of what kind of winery and business they want to be. Over those years, Matt has been especially interested in pursuing a “nature-positive” model — one that forces farmers and winemakers to live “within the bounds of their land’s natural resources and rely on natural solutions and manual labor rather than chemicals and carbon-burning machines.” That’s actually a quote from Matt himself, and one worth mulling over in depth. Aside from wine, we discussed his obsession with flying, car racing with KCBX DJ Neal Losey, and the concept of “learn by failing.”
