Ian Prickel - Cincinnati Sales
FIRST VINTAGE WITH CUTTING EDGE?
2023
WHAT WAS YOUR LIGHTBULB WINE EXPERIENCE?
When I was presented the opportunity to travel and make wine outside of Cincinnati. No one told me I could sell or make wine as a kid. Look at me now, Mr. Allen!
WhaT IS YOUR IDEAL WAY TO SPEND A DAY OFF?
Anything that gets me outside of the city; golfing with my Dad, doing chores on the farm. Then wrap up the day eating and drinking with family and frients.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE WINE AND FOOD PAIRING?
Champagne and Caviar!
WHAT WINE REFLECTS YOUR PERSONALITY?
Sonoma Syrah! It does not give out at the first heat wave or climate difficulty. It does reflect the terroir; Syrah is very good at presenting a new character of itself in different situations. Given the right opportunity, Syrah can outshine any and all expectations.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE?
Whiplash
WHAT IS A WINE REGION YOU WOULD MOST LIKE TO VISIT?
Santorini, hands down. I’m intrigued by the bush trained wines and their food pairings. It’s something I WILL see before my wine career is over!
