Wells Guthrie started his career working at the Wine Spectator's San Francisco office as a tasting coordinator. It was during these first few years that he fell in love with Syrah and moved to the Northern Rhone. Wells worked for Chapoutier for two seasons in both the winery and vineyards learning about the Northern Rhone varietals and Biodynamics. Outside of Chapoutier, Wells spent as much time as he could with Jean Louis Chave, who he feels had an equally important impact upon his experiences in the Rhone. Following Chapoutier, Wells returned to work at Turley Wine Cellars working in both the vineyards and cellar. Today, Wells is the full-time owner and winemaker for Copain Wine Cellars. In addition, Wells and Kevin started Copain Custom Crush in 2000. Although Wells didn't get into the wine business to run a "custom crush facility", Wells plays an instrumental role in advising on the winery operations, equipment, processes and procedures. Wells also provides consulting services for those clients that desire it.
