About Kris Moe and 19th Hole Wine
Kris Moe moved to the Sonoma California in 1995 because he fell in love with the wine country. Right away he started making his wine as a home winemaker and enjoyed the experience of making wine with friends and his family.
"I enjoy the entire process of making wine. I continue making about 250 cases of our limited wines (Cabs and Merlot retail at $25 plus) at Cahill Winery in Sebastopol (Russian River Valley). I also buy wine from other wineries (negociant) to have a more affordable wine that sells below $15."
Kris is a PGA professional and runs his Top 25 rated golf school, Kris Moe Golf Schools (Napa and Pebble Beach) but most of his time now is with finding good wine and supporting wine sales with his distributors and brokers.
Kris Moe attended San Diego State University from 1979-1984 and was twice an All-American and won the California Amateur in 1983 before turning professional in Australia. He's played tournaments in over thirty countries including the U.S. and European PGA Tours and his most notable finish was a 25th in the 1985 British Open. His most recent victory was the Hawaii State Open in 2004.
