Wine and food are intrinsically linked and thus I’ve always found it rather odd how few chefs make the leap from kitchens to cellars. Luckily for us two long time friends, Marty Winters and Alex Pitts, made that leap. After working in some of California’s top kitchens including Cyrus, Quince, and the French Laundry, the two former chefs decided to trade in their whites and in 2012 they founded Maitre de Chai. Today, Alex and Marty are joined by their respective partners, Stephanie Pitts (all things web) and Jessica Force (creative director, tasting room) , who have helped grow Maître de Chai into one of the most dynamic indie wineries in California.
