JOHN BRANDAU, Estate Manager

Growing up in Sonoma County, John is as native as it gets to the wine scene in Dry Creek Valley and surrounding AVAs. John fell in love with wine at a young age in his pop’s garage - thieving sips from his glass while he was busy closing up shop.

His first Estate Chef & Wine Educator position was in the heart of Alexander Valley at an organic wine and olive oil producing estate. His transition to Reeve has put him at the helm of the fifty-five-acre estate by overseeing the hospitality team, grounds management, sales systems and overall guest experience. And the goats.

John currently spends his free time beating drums alongside his bandmates, tending to family heirloom avocado trees and gardens, running trails, whipping it up in the kitchen, and raising two outstanding young citizens alongside his wife Dora.

TAYLR CUNEO, General Manager

After business and culinary school, Taylr jumped right into the kitchen world, cooking her way through amazing kitchens in Chicago, Los Angeles, and finally landing in Wine Country. As her career progressed, she found the greater challenge and enjoyment on the business side. She truly fell in love with wine through food, as it provided a way to connect with people whether she was cooking for them or simply enjoying their company.

As the General Manager of Reeve and BloodRoot Wines, Taylr gets to manage all elements of the winery including our amazing team, operations, and experiences. She is constantly seeking out new opportunities to help the business evolve and continue growing into a true legacy brand. 

Other interests include being anywhere near or in the ocean, traveling, hanging with her husband and two awesome kiddos, celebrating amazing food and wine, cooking delicious things, and a good old dance party.

Morgan Gray, National Sales Director

Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, Morgan began her hospitality career early working in luxury hotels and restaurants. When she was introduced to the world of wine during her formative years at university, she fell in love instantaneously.

After graduating, rather than diving into a career in accounting or international business, she moved to Houston, TX and then to San Francisco, CA, working as a sommelier and deepening her knowledge and passion for wine. She finally landed in Healdsburg at Reeve Wines & BloodRoot Wines as National Sales Director where she assists in operations, works with and builds distribution channels, and connects with consumers and sommeliers alike. Just recently, she passed the Theory portion of her Master Sommelier exam and will be sitting for Tasting and Practical later this year. Outside of her wine life, she loves traveling, hiking, yoga, and spending time with her partner and their two sweet pups.

NOAH DORRANCE, Proprietor & Winemaker

Noah Dorrance fell in love with wine at the early age of 18 and has been pursuing a life around it ever since.

Noah launched Reeve in 2015 as a way to dig deeper into the potential of California’s top cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay plantings in the Anderson Valley and Sonoma Coast’s diverse terroirs. Noah previously co-founded Banshee Wines in 2009 and made the wines there from 2009 to 2017. Prior to that he worked at Crushpad from 2005-2010.

He is the driving force behind the wines at Reeve, from vineyard scouting and cultivating grower relationships, to overall stylistic vision. He spearheads Reeve’s winemaking and production with the support of Katy to form a powerhouse combination of experience, passion, and wine vision.

Noah is a true visionary and entrepreneur while mercilessly seeking out the next good time—be it on a boat, under the stars, at a concert, tossing the football with son Reeve, or mountain biking with daughter Remy.
