Marco DiGiulio
Marco was born and raised in San Francisco, California, shortly after his parents had emigrated from Tuscany and become successful Bay Area restaurateurs. Along with wonderful Italian meals, wine was an everyday part of their North Beach household life. As a result, Marco inherited his family's appreciation for great wine and food.
Marco developed an in-depth knowledge of winemaking and viticulture through education and experience in the industry. He graduated with a degree in Fermentation Science from the University of California at Davis in 1985.
After two years at Buena Vista Winery, Marco worked as cellar master at Pine Ridge Winery for more than four years. His next stint was as the production manager for Atlas Peak Vineyards, followed by his 1994 appointment as winemaker for Pezzi King Vineyards. Just before the 1995 harvest, he became the winemaker at Pepi Winery in Oakville. While making Pepi Wines, he also took charge of the Lokoya brand after the death of celebrated winemaker and mentor Greg Upton. It was at Lokoya that Marco's reputation for making world class Cabernet Sauvignon was first established.
Now, as a wine industry veteran, Marco has been able to turn his attention to consulting for a handful of wineries in the North Coast region. His list of clients includes both well established and new wineries such as Black Coyote, Bounty Hunter, Girard, Liquid Sky, Shannon Ridge, Robert Pecota Winery, Lookout Ridge, Hidden Ridge, and Spence Vineyards, as well as some new projects in development. His wealth of experience and love of winemaking enables him to craft the finest wines from the rugged landscape that provides his inspiration.

Mike McLoughlin
Mike McLoughlin brings more than 17 years of experience in the wine industry to Bin to Bottle. He has worked in production, sales, marketing and winery management.
His career in the wine business began in 1991 at a small Chardonnay winery in Napa called Costello Vineyards. Putting away his corporate tie, he donned blue jeans and jumped right into winemaking. He never dreamed about filling wine barrels, cleaning tanks or driving a tractor through the vineyard when laboring in the pits on the floor of the Pacific Stock Exchange.
He also never looked back as he moved from Costello Vineyards to William Hill Winery and then to Whitehall Lane Winery. At Whitehall Lane he has handled sales, marketing and production and is currently responsible for all of the above as General Manager.
Prior to working at Napa Valley wineries, Mike was an Options Floor Broker at the Pacific Stock Exchange in San Francisco. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of California at Berkeley.

Patrick Roney
In addition to Pat’s involvement with Bin to Bottle, Pat is an active Partner in several other wine related ventures, including Girard Winery, Windsor Vineyards, Napa Valley Specialty Wines and “Put A Cork In It” a mobile bottling line. Pat has also been actively involved with the development of Dean & DeLuca where he has served as Chief Executive Officer and still sits on the Board of Directors. Pat has also served previously as President of Chateau St Jean and Kunde Estate Winery. Prior to that he was the Executive Vice President of Marketing for Christian Brothers and spent eight years with the Seagram Wine Company in marketing and sales capacities.
