Our Team

FOUNDER & WINEMAKER

McPrice 'Mac' Myers has been crafting high-expression wines of balance, value, and place since 2002.

A lifelong, self-proclaimed "food and wine geek,” Mac was a quick study and almost immediately had the press lauding his wines from near and far. His passion for unique sites in Paso Robles and California's Central Coast, combined with his meticulous attention to detail in the cellar, result in stunning wines that more than live up to the hype.

OWNER AND STYLE GURU

With a PhD in Molecular & Medical Genetics, Venus has successfully led cutting edge scientific research at two leading biotechnology companies - Regeneron and Amgen. In addition to her work in therapeutic drug development, she has always been passionate about the science and products of fermentation - wine, whiskey, beer, and sake. She even used to host “Fermentation Seminars” for her colleagues – little did she know that this would become the focus of her life! Venus now lends her inventive nature, enthusiasm for wine, considerable business skills and her impeccable sense of style to the McPrice Myers Winery.

ASSOCIATE WINEMAKER & BRAND PARTNER

Adrian Perez runs a CrossFit bootcamp out of the cellar and enjoys doing pull-ups on the grape hopper. He’s a Richard Petty on the forklift and can pick up a quarter off the cellar floor. Fluent in music, and equipped with a keen ear, he utilizes the reverb of the winery’s empty stainless steel tanks to amplify his belting of ‘90s alternative rock ballads. Without hyperbole, he is a true renaissance man, and appreciates the finer things in life: a massage, a hot springs soak, vegetating on a Caribbean beach and a glass of wine to cap the events of the day. Salúd!

DIRECTOR OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS & BRAND PARTNER

Liz Gillingham comes from a nerd background, so she fits right in around here! With a background in animal science, logistics, and science education tech support, wine was the reasonable next career, right? We rely on Liz to keep things running smoothly while the wine is being made, and she enjoys - sometimes a little too much - wrangling our vendors, customers, and team. When she isn’t running around the property, you might find her singing karaoke, fostering orphaned kittens, or reading some science fiction, contributing to the “nerd” title with gusto.

HEAD OF BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT & BRAND PARTNER

Billy has been involved in the Paso Robles wine industry since 2002, starting out as the co-founder of Four Vines. In the past 20 years, Grant has served as partner, investor, consultant, and resource to wineries and affiliated businesses in the Paso Robles area. Affectionately known as the loudest guy in the room, Grant has been earnest in promoting the Paso Robles wine region by increasing market reach for brands with creative and unconventional approaches.

DIRECTOR OF VITICULTURE

Born in El Durazno village in Durango, Mexico, relocated to Paso Robles at 14. His expertise in Rhône varietals grew during stints at Tablas Creek and GlenRose Vineyards from 1994 to 1997. Joining Rozet (now Derby) Vineyards in 1998 as Vineyard Manager, he honed his skills alongside John Alban for six years before transforming Denner Vineyards into a premier location for Rhône and Bordeaux varieties in 2004. Aron's commitment to sustainable farming emphasizes minimizing chemical use, aiming for enduring vineyard success.
