Jaime Araujo, Vintner and founder

Jaime’s family has been making world-class wines in Napa Valley for over 25 years and for most of those years, Jaime was actually living abroad in Europe (if you want to know all the juicy details, make sure to ask her when you meet!)

Upon returning to Napa Valley to become a vintner, Jaime wanted to create a wine that would reflect her personal journey, and what she loved most about wine: the people and the sense of community. The name “Trois Noix,” which means “Three Nuts,” is an homage to our founder’s love of France and her commitment to using wine as a catalyst for social change.

Mike Tracy, Director of Winemaking

Mike was raised on the Gallo Frei Ranch in Dry Creek Valley where his mother worked as an accountant, and he always knew he would make wine,.  Mike graduated with a B.S. in Viticulture and Enology from Cornell University in 2012, and thirteen commercial vintages later, Mike’s career has been on a trajectory from Sonoma County and Napa Valley, to New Zealand and Argentina, before settling back at home, in Napa Valley.
