PAUL MAROON became interested in wine over 40 years ago. He visited Napa as often as possible through the years and finally in 2000 he realized his dream and relocated to the Napa Valley from Portola Valley, CA ( Silicon Valley). Here he began his life as a vintner. He has been growing grapes and making fine wines in Napa ever since.
In addition to his own Maroon label, he was also growing grapes and producing wine for Crauford Wine Company. Paul took over total responsibility for the Crauford in 2006 when Crauford's founder retired. In addition to grape growing and wine production, Paul became responsible for all marketing and sales activities of the Crauford Wines.
