I sat down with David Natali, and what stood out most is that great winemakers aren’t born, they’re built through experience, instinct, and time in the cellar.
From starting with no traditional path to becoming a Napa Valley winemaker, he shared how the craft is less about textbooks and more about doing the work, learning from mistakes, and trusting your palate. It made me realize how much mastery in any field comes from showing up and putting in the reps.
If success isn’t about talent alone, what skill are you building right now through repetition?
