Kisha Itkin

President & Owner

Kisha inherited her love of antiques and design from her mother, while growing up in the South. She was drawn to Napa Valley by its history as much as its beauty. And with an original background in chemistry, geology and geophysics, Kisha was immediately fascinated by the sciences of Viticulture and Winemaking. She is overseeing the restoration of the property and the operations of the vineyards and winery.

Josh Clark

Vineyard Manager

Josh’s farming career got its start while riding on his dad’s lap, as he steered the tractor around their Napa Valley vineyard. It’s there that Josh learned the rhythm of the seasons and the rhythm of the vines. After graduating with a degree in Agricultural Engineering Technology with a minor in Ag Business, Josh worked at a large family run vineyard in Paso Robles, managing all phases of development, maintenance and harvest. Eventually, he moved back home to Napa Valley, taking the reins of his father’s business, Clark Vineyard Management. Today, Josh’s team oversees 400 acres of premium wine grapes in Napa and Sonoma Counties. He specializes in smaller, high-quality vineyards, with the philosophy that technology and age-old practices are not opposing forces when your aim is growing the best possible grapes.
