Steve Shaffer

Wine Ambassador

Meet Steve – BBQ, football, and a splash of Reserve

 

Born and raised in Napa, wine has always been in Steve’s blood – literally. With a father who crafted barrels by hand, Steve grew up surrounded by the rhythm of the cellar and the scent of oak.  That early exposure sparked a lifelong love of wine, eventually leading him to pursue a culinary degree and dive into the world of hospitality.

 

Steve joined Hannah Nicole Vineyards & Winery in July 2024, bringing his signature warmth, curiosity, and palate to every guest experience.  Whether he’s chatting with visitors, sneaking a sip of our Reserve Cabernet, or sharing stories from his hometown, Steve embodies the spirit of California’s wine country.

 

When he’s not at the winery, you’ll find him traveling with his family, firing up the BBQ, or cheering on the 49ers – though he’ll happily watch any game with a good glass of red in hand.

 

“I haven’t met a Cabernet I didn’t like – and I’ve tried a few.”
