Josh Phelps: Owner and Winemaker

Josh’s roots run deep in Napa, raised in a winemaking family, he was exposed to the industry from a young age, starting his very first endeavor in the wine world, “Napa Valet,” at age 15. He continued to build his knowledge of the business through college, selling wine, working harvest and creating wine for friends with his father, Chris Phelps, who makes wine for Inglenook and Ad Vivum. As a Napa local, his philosophies on winemaking and business are inspired by the luminaries of the wine world he calls his mentors and friends like Joel
Gott, Kimberly Jones, the late Leslie Rudd, and of course, his own father.

With Grounded Wine Co., Josh is building on this legacy and making his own splash in the
wine world while exposing wine drinkers of his own generation to his hometown in wine
country. Working with trusted farmers and childhood friends, his company reflects his deep
understanding of wine, one that can only be developed growing up around the vines. He has
been named to Forbes’ 30 under 30 list, along with Zagat’s 30 under 30, and Wine
Enthusiast’s 40 under 40 – though one of his proudest accomplishments is still the Eagle
Scout badge he earned at the age of 18.
