Jordan Winery of Alexander Valley, Sonoma recently had the best sales months in its history in November and December of 2011, which ceo John Jordan said was all part of good planning and thinking outside the box. Although the winery was founded by his parents, John does not consider himself a wine guy per se. He started his own private practice a few years after graduating from law school in 2004, and also has an MBA from the University of San Francisco. In 2005 he stepped away from his law practice to oversee day-to-day operations of the family winery, and moved back to the property in 2006. He is also currently a Partner in the law firm of Smith & Dollar and works as a part-time professor at the Empire College School of Law. So clearly he has a lot on his plate. Here's a peak at how John applies his outside knowledge to Jordan Winery:
