An Introduction

Meet Our Team

Not only are we committed to our pursuit of great winemaking that reflects a strong sense of place, but we are also committed to the people who have made CADE Estate Winery what it is today. Our success and accomplishments are rooted in our people, from our winemaking team to hospitality and sales team and everyone in between.

Danielle Cyrot
winemaker

Growing up with a French father, Danielle spent summers as a child in France, where she learned about her family’s winemaking history. Her great-grandfather was the last in a long line of ancestors who owned the Cyrot Vineyard in Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. She had no plans to carry on her family’s winemaking legacy until she took an introductory winemaking class at the University of California, Davis.

Tyler Martin
Associate winemaker

Growing up in Moraga, California, Tyler has always been close to the wine country. Spending time tasting and collecting wine with his father, he continued to nurture his interest and knowledge at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Tyler’s first experience in winemaking came during his internship at Edna Valley Vineyard in San Luis Obispo.

Bobby Kloetzer
Assistant winemaker

Bobby’s entry into the wine industry was as unexpected as fortuitous. Hailing from Carlsbad, California, his childhood was shaped by an affinity for the outdoors and a curiosity for science that later became the undercurrents of his winemaking philosophy. While attending Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, a spur-of-the-moment decision led him to the Viticulture and Enology program. Here, Bobby’s path became clear
