Tim Milos, Winemaker
Black Coyote is honored to work with Tim Milos, sixth generation Bay Area native. Tim grew up exploring the hills of rural west Marin, building houses in the summer, reading, and cooking.In addition to diverse interests in philosophy, history and politics, Tim studied Plant Pathology at Cornell University and went on to conduct graduate-level research in Enology and Viticulture at California’s U.C. Davis in 1999. It was at Cornell that Tim discovered the winemaking going on in Upstate New York’s Finger Lakes region. Here, at last, he found a way to tie his many passions together: science, history and art, the seasons, and working with one’s hands.
Tim decides when to harvest by tasting the grapes as he walks along the vineyard rows. The ripeness of the grapes is determined by flavor, texture and potency of the fruit.
