Paul Briede spent a flawless 38 years transporting people around the world as a United Airlines pilot. Since his retirement in 2021 he has been very active as an owner of Briede Family Vineyards. His job duties are endless and there is nothing he cannot do. A very valuable asset in a vineyard. His primary role is managing the vineyard. Your wine making starts here. You have heard the saying "the wine starts in soil" well that couldn't be truer. 

The transition from Pilot to Vintner was a labor of love for Paul. When asked if he misses flying the response is always, "No!"  He loves his vineyard, and enjoys the peace and tranquility of having an office amongst his vines.
