Tony Spica was born and raised in Michigan and moved to California after graduation from the University of Michigan in 1967 (GO
BLUE). Tony spent the last 30 years in technical sales. Unlike the other members of Chateau Garage who came into winemaking late in life, Tony started at the ripe age of four…descending from many
generation of Italian home wine makers. Tony first recalls making wine with his father and grandfather in Michigan. The grapes came by train from Napa Valley, so they obviously didn't get them
fresh off the vine.
With this background his palate could best be described as earthy and unsophisticated being that it was developed drinking home made
wine in the Italian style. If you have never experienced it— to say the least — it is an acquired taste. His favorite wine currently is Pinot Noir, followed by Merlot, Sangiovese, and Pinot
Grigio. But over the years, he has preferred Zinfandel, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. Who knows what it will be next year…only time will tell.
