Like Marc Cohen, Sam Grinels is one of the original founders of Chateau Garage. Sam originally hails from Virginia…making the move
to the San Francisco Bay Area on the tail end of the “summer of love.”
He finished up college on the West coast (San Jose State and USC). He has a marketing consulting and design business in Cupertino.
Sam’s taste tends to Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay that is crisp, with no wood or malolactic fermentation for whites, and, Pinot
Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Sryah (yes, even the ponderous Petite Syrah) in the reds. Favorites include Acacia’s Pinots, St. Francis Estate Merlot, and Freemark Abbey’s Sycamore Vineyard
Cab to name a few. ’
On the tasting side, Sam particularly enjoys finding great wines at “reasonable” prices.
