About Joe Wagner

Joseph is a fifth generation
Napa Valley winemaker
with a dedicated passion
for the business. Joe’s
roots in the winemaking
industry began at an early
age with his family –the
founders of Caymus
Vineyards in Napa Valley.
In 2001, at age nineteen, he rolled up his sleeves and has yet to look back. His
passion and natural talent for winemaking quickly became apparent after he started
his own award-winning single vineyard Pinot Noir label, Belle Glos.
In 2006, Joe began crafting Meiomi (later sold in 2015 in the largest non-asset wine
sale in history) which quickly achieved numerous accolades and awards. In
February 2014, Joe formed Copper Cane Wine & Provisions, with the goal of
focusing on innovations that have always captured his interest, and finding new
ways to offer the highest quality products that satisfy consumers’ appetites for
genuine craftsmanship.
Since 2014, Copper Cane has launched many new wines, each with a slant towards Joe’s personal
style, including Elouan (Oregon), Napa Valley Quilt, Böen (California Coast), and Joe’s first wine
and matriarch of the portfolio, Belle Glos.
