A Celebration of John H. Wright
Friday, January 27, 2012
In Memoriam: John H. Wright, 1933 – 2012
It's with a heavy heart that we announce John Wright passed away peacefully at St. Helena Hospital on January 15, 2012. Born in Buffalo, New York, John went on to become the founding president and chairman of Domaine Chandon. With technical guidance from Moët & Chandon, in 1973 John and his winemaking staff began producing high quality “méthode champenoise” sparkling wines from Napa Valley Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. John was revered and loved by the staff he motivated each and every day with his quick wit, creativity, sense of humor, enthusiasm and infectious optimism. He will forever be a part of our history. A celebration of John’s life will be on Friday, January 27, 2012 at Domaine Chandon in Yountville, from 5pm to 7pm.
