Phil Staley - Director

Philip Staley Vineyards & Winery
Owner, Winemaker

Personal:
Born 6/15/1942 Palm Springs CA
Resided in Piedmont, CA 20 years
Resided in Healdasburg CA 22 years

Education:
Undergraduate, UC Santa Barbara & UC Berkley 1960 - 1963
Dental School, University of the Pacific 1093 - 1967

Professional:
Private Dental practice in Hayward CA 43 years, retired in 2010
Expert Examiner, California Board of Dental Examiners, 8 years
Founder & partner Alderbrook Winery 1981 - 1993
Founder & owner of Philip Staley Vineyards & Winery in 1993

Born and raised in Southern California, Philip was drawn to scientific pursuits at an early age. After graduating from the University of California at Santa Barbara with a degree in analytical biology, he went on to earn a DDS degree and establish a dental practice in the San Francisco Bay Area.

It was during his years in graduate school that Philip developed a passion for wine, with a special interest in the wines of the Mediterranean region, and particularly those in the Rhone Valley in the south of France.

As his interest in wines increased, so did his desire to make them. When his winemaking hobby outgrew his home, he turned his avocation into a career. In 1981, Philip became a founding partner in a Sonoma County winery. He was the winemaker from the first harvest until 1994, gaining a reputation for producing consistently fine wines.

In 1988, Philip and his wife, Pamela, purchased 21 acres in the Russian River Valley, built a home, and planted ten acres of vineyard. With the first harvest of their new vineyard, they established Philip Staley Vineyards and Winery. The Staleys thus joined the unique category of California winery-the small grower/producer.

 


Bob Wilkie - Director

After graduating from Stanford University in 1964, Bob began full-time work at a family-owned machine-tool manufacturing business in Minnesota. In the coming years he engaged in executive operations of this and other related companies, serving ultimately as Executive Vice President. During this period he personally set up and managed as President a subsidiary producing and marketing industrial hydraulics, which was subsequently spun off as a separate entity. General management responsibility exposed him to a variety of business functions, including frequent negotiations with labor, customers, and competitors. He also served as sawing machine group representative to the National Machine Tool Builders Board in Washington DC.

In the 1970s he sold his business interests and established a family investment partnership, Wilkie Associates, which became a vehicle for venture capital investments with an informal consortium of investors in the Minneapolis area. In this capacity he evaluated business plans and negotiated investment terms with entrepreneurs and other investors. Ventures included a broad variety of enterprises including one successful insurance company that he helped to take public.  He continued in this activity for several years until large venture capital firms began to dominate the field, eventually phasing out in the mid 1980s and investing solely in public securities markets.

While in Minnesota, Bob served on the Board of Directors of one of the Northwestern Bank group, which eventually merged with Wells Fargo Bank.  He also served on the President's Council of the University of Minnesota Foundation, a large private foundation supporting the functions of that school.

Since moving to California in 1983, Bob has remained a private investor. He has served on two boards of trustees for schools attended by his children. One of these positions involved acting as Secretary-Treasurer and executing a complete financial restructuring, which he initiated and carried to completion, as well as working to resolve controversies over school administration. Bob currently serves as a neutral arbitrator for FINRA, the voluntary association within the financial industry that seeks to resolve disputes without court action. He also tutors sixth graders at Healdsburg Junior High with the PSST group and is a "big brother" to a 13-year-old boy in Healdsburg through the Big Brothers/Big Sisters organization.
