His father was a winemaker in California and Oregon and Sean literally grew up in the wine industry. Remember your first “summer job”? Sean’s was getting knee deep in grapes, cleaning barrels – all of the behind-the-scenes grunt work it takes to make wine. “I remember a Saturday and it was pouring down rain,” Bob McRitchie said. “We were digging a ditch for the wastewater to go underneath the road and into a holding tank.
