Salgado, Founder and CEO of Northlight Wine Collective. “Jak and Janice, together with Terry and Andrew, have built two remarkable businesses, and we are honored to continue their legacy while investing in the next chapter of growth.”For the Meyer and Stone families, selecting the right long-term steward was central to the decision to sell. “From the beginning, our goal was to build wineries that reflected this remarkable region and the people who make it so special,” said Jak Meyer, Co-Founder of Meyer Family Vineyards and Mayhem Wines. “As we looked toward succession, we wanted to find an owner who respected what we had built and shared our long-term vision. We believe Northlight is the right partner to carry these wineries forward while preserving the character that has always defined them.”The existing winery team, including winemaker Chris Carson, will continue in their current roles.
