Born the son of a Texas Moonshine maker, Mac has made quite a name for himself in the Pinot Noir world. Mac is one of a handful of African American Wine Makers in the country and has been recognized by Wine Spectator as the recipient of their 2005 "Critic's Choice" Award. Also, in 2005 his wines were poured at a White House for a 4th of July event. You can count on Mac wearing his trademark blue jean overalls.
