Producer Information

Pulido-Walker was created by husband-wife Mark Pulido and Donna Walker. Mark’s family originally immigrated from Spain and were pharmacists. Mark also graduated with a degree in pharmacy from the University of Arizona and later became President and CEO of McKesson Corporation and Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation USA. Donna also comes from a pharmaceuticals background; like her father, she earned her degree in pharmacy. She joined 3M Pharmaceuticals and eventually became their North American Sales and Marketing Directory (of their Telecom Division). Both run the Pulido Walker Foundation, a charitable organization that focuses on health and education related issues. They both began to visit Napa Valley in the early 1980s tasting at wineries ranging from Carneros to Calistoga. Mark and Donna interviewed a number of Napa Valley’s most well-regarded consulting winemakers and ultimately settled on Thomas Brown for a variety of reasons. Thomas was intrigued at the opportunity to provide his input on planting their vineyards as well as be their founding winemaker. And there is the Palmetto State connection which doesn’t hurt; both he and Donna are originally from South Carolina. They purchased 115 acres in the southern part of Mt. Veeder appellation in a section of this appellation that does not feature the steep rugged hillsides that Mt. Veeder is more known for further to the north. Rather, their property is located on rolling more open hillsides featuring exceptional views of the southern part of Napa Valley including the city of Napa in the distance. Part of the reason they purchased this property was for the views but also due to its very close proximity to the city of Napa, while maintaining the feel of being in the country. Its elevation ranges from 650 to nearly 1,000 feet.
