About: Santa Barbara-bred Tyler and Napa Valley-native Kim launched Halcyon Wines in 2014 when Tyler discovered cooler climate Cabernet Franc in the Templeton Gap—a varietal he always dreamed of working with. In his 15 years of winemaking experience, Tyler climbed his way up the cellar ladder (and the California coast), as a cellar rat in Santa Barbara to Assistant Winemaker at Paso Robles’ prestigious Tablas Creek, to most recently earning an Executive MBA in Wine Business from Sonoma State University. Tyler currently works for Jackson Family Wines as a brand manager for some of Napa Valley’s most iconic brands.
