Wine needs a fresh face. Well, that is if you ask the pundits in the industry. I am not sure I agree. Certainly, any industry needs to keep up with the times, I suppose marketing ideas and packaging ideas would follow. I am not sure I even agree with that... however, one thing I do believe is bringing a contemporary viewpoint to the table is beneficial. Meet a contemporary viewpoint in Jane Dunkley of Bezel Vineyards. eflecting on my conversation with Jane Dunkley of Bezel Vineyards for the latest episode of Wine Talks, I'm left both energized and encouraged about where the wine industry is headed—and what truly matters in today's wine world. Our podcast's mission has always been to tell the real stories of wine, far beyond tasting notes and ratings. So, sitting down (virtually, at least) with Jane, an Australian-born winemaker who has worked on both sides of the world and now crafts wines for the Cakebread family's new Bezel brand in Paso Robles, was exactly the kind of exchange I live for. Jane's journey started far south of Perth, in Western Australia, on a beef cattle ranch—a background that immediately resonated with me. We swapped stories about the one-of-a-kind “smell” of cattle yards; a scent that, as Jane wryly put it, no amount of showers can really erase. It set her on the path to winemaking: the agricultural connection without the lingering aroma of livestock. That personal connection to the land gave her an appreciation—almost an obligation—to bring authenticity into her role as a winemaker. That idea of authenticity kept surfacing. Jane made it clear: if you're just coming into wine “because you couldn't think of any other way to spend your money,” the market sees through it. The consumer is craving stories and purpose—an ethos to connect with, not just a pretty label or Instagram-ready tasting room. Her advice? If you're ready to make this your life, with good intentions and a real story, there's room for you. I couldn't agree more. We explored what Paso Robles has become—a place that's evolved from cowboy hats and thrift stores to French restaurants and billion-dollar wine acquisitions (yes, I'm still amazed by the DAOU story). Yet, amidst the changing face of Paso, Jane finds the same rural, collaborative spirit that was there when she arrived. I can vouch for it myself; Paso still feels real and welcoming, even if, like me, you eventually learn you're a much better wine storyteller than farmer. It was refreshing to hear Jane champion the idea that innovation in wine isn't about flash—wines in cans, weird flavors, or marketing gimmicks—but about a “unique voice,” expressed sincerely in the glass. We tasted her Bezel Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet, and I was genuinely impressed. The Sauvignon Blanc brought a Southern Hemisphere intensity but was rooted in Paso—minerality and all. The Cabernet, meanwhile, struck that elusive balance between structure and approachability at a $30 price point. As a guy who's sold millions of bottles in that sweet spot, I know how hard that is to get right. At its heart, this episode underlined why I started Wine Talks: to share the stories, the struggles, and the triumphs of people like Jane Dunkley. Wine is about connection—between people, land, science, art, and most of all, experience. The future belongs to those willing to show what they stand for and bring their whole story to the table. And as long as there are voices like Jane's willing to do that, I'll keep telling these stories. Cheers to authenticity—and to the next great bottle.

On April 29th Napa Valley lost one of its most famous vintners when Jack Cakebread, Founder of Cakebread Cellars passed away at the age of 92.  Jack's incredible story of becoming a vintner is as famous as the wines that bear his last name.   Jack Cakebread, born in 1929, grew up working on his family's ranch purchased in Contra Costa County    where they grew almonds, walnuts, and stone fruits.  He also worked in his father's auto repair garage in Oakland, CA while studying photography with world famous landscape photographer, Ansel Adams.  It was a specific photography trip to Napa Valley in 1972 that changed Jack Cakebread's life and Napa Valley forever.  He was hired by author Nathan Croman to take pictures for a book he was writing called A Treasury of American Wines.  During that trip, Jack decided to visit a friend of his who happened to own a 22-acre ranch and vineyard in Rutherford.  Before leaving his visit, Jack told his friend that he was interested in buying the ranch and made his friend an offer.   Later that day, Jack heard from his friend that he had accepted Jacks offer for the ranch.  Jack had purchased the 22-acre ranch and vineyard for $2500.  The rest is history!  At first, Jack and Dolores Cakebread and their sons Bruce and Dennis balanced responsibilities at the winery and the car repair business in Oakland that Jack had become a partner in.  In 1973 they produced their first vintage, 157 cases of Chardonnay with fruit they had purchased from another winery.   The Rich, Fruit Centered, style Chardonnay is now the wine most synonymous with Cakebread Cellars.  This style of chardonnay has influenced many of the modern chardonnays.   According to other Napa Vintners, Jack and Dolores Cakebread's impact on Napa Valley is something that will live on forever.  Jack would serve as President of the Napa Valley Vintners association and as President of the Winegrowers of Napa County.  Famous Napa Vintner Warren Winiarski says that the Cakebreads should be remembered for what they did to elevate the food and wine in the Napa Valley.  Jack Cakebread would eventually turn Cakebread Cellars over to the capable hands of his sons Bruce and Dennis.  Bruce Cakebread is now the President and COO while Dennis Cakebread is the acting Chairman of the Board of directors.  Cakebread Cellars now owns 13 vineyards representing nearly 560 acres and besides Chardonnay, they make award winning Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Sauvignon Blanc, and Pinot Noir.  Friend and family of Jack Cakebread describe him as a man with a wonderful personality and a great sense of humor.  He will be greatly missed.  If you want to pay respects to Jack Cakebread, the family suggests you make a donation to Collabria Care of Napa.  You can find them at give.providence.org/collabricare.

For this week’s deep dive Natasha and Alex and Chris dug into the world of the IPO. Not just the numbers and the metrics and the calculations of valuations at diluted, and non-diluted share counts. No. We wanted to talk about the morality and efficacy of going public.So to round out our conversation we enlisted Steve Cakebread, the CFO of Yext and Garth Mitchell, the CFO of Latch. Cakebread is known for being aboard the Salesforce, Pandora, and Yext's IPOs. Mitchell has sat on both sides of the table during the IPO process, and is currently helming the money equations as Latch approaches the public markets via a SPAC.For more context, Yext, a company that first launched at a Techcrunch event back in 2009, provides data tooling and search software to businesses, while Latch builds software and hardware for rental-focused buildings. Yext is public. Latch will be in a few months.Back to our topic, we asked Cakebread to talk about his thesis on why going public earlier than later can help a company's maturity process and can help provide greater returns to the general public. The CFO has written a rather good book about the IPO process more generally and what it means for a company's internal processes, but his morality notes especially stood out because its an argument far less noisy than the POP critics. Baked beans comes up, somehow!We also asked Mitchell to talk about Latch's choice to go public, and what opportunities and challenges the SPAC route brings for the company. Of course, there's a SPAC joke in there (or two), but we get into broader "what's next" debates about if more companies will start to leave the private world, venture capital's role in this whole mess, and the financial lift of going to the public market.Hope you enjoyed the show, and get excited: Equity is going to have more guests on from time to time, and we welcome any suggestions you want to throw at us.

Today’s guest, Steve Cakebread, knows a great deal about subscription pricing models and IPOs. Steve has brought three notable subscription-based companies—Salesforce, Pandora, and Yext—to successful initial public offerings, or IPOs, and served on the board of three other subscription-based companies - eHealth, SolarWinds, and Bill.com - as those companies went public. Steve is frequently sought-out for his advice on IPOs, often fielding three or more requests in a single week. He decided to put his advice on the subject into a new book, The IPO Playbook: An Insider’s Perspective on Taking Your Company Public and How to Do It Right. On today’s show, Steve sits down with Robbie Kellman Baxter for a discussion on why investors love subscriptions, how to take your subscription business public, what it takes to build a solid foundation, and how to tell your subscription story in a way that investors will understand.

Steve Cakebread's current CEO at Yext says he is the master of taking technology companies public. Steve published his first book in 2020 entitled The IPO Playbook, and we talk about what happens before, during, and after the IPO.

A recognized expert in preparing for IPOs, Steve Cakebread led the financial teams that took Yext, Pandora, and Salesforce to successful initial public offerings (IPOs). He serves on the board of Bill.com, which went public in December 2019, and sat on the boards of SolarWinds, and Ehealth, as they made their initial public offerings. Earlier in his career, Steve served as CFO for Autodesk, vice president of finance for Silicon Graphic (now SGI), an director of finance for Hewlett-Packard. Steve earned his bachelor's degree in business from the University of California, Berkeley, and his MBA with a focus on international finance from Indiana University Kelley School of Business. What you'll learn about in this episode: What Steve learned from working in his parents' auto garage and then later in college in their winery What similarities Steve sees in the highly regarded Cakebread Cellars and IPO's What made Steve walk away from his career in established companies to join a startup What gave Steve the confidence that Salesforce, Pandora, and Yext could go the distance when he joined them in their early days Why Steve believes it is so critical to hire generalists in the early stage of a startup Why it is so important to talk to your people about where they see themselves in three to five years and how often you should have that conversation Why it is so critical for a startup to have a founder team that is really committed to a vision that is changing something How Steve has stayed so ‘even' mentally, physically, and emotionally over the years in the stress packed startup world Why Steve believes it is so valuable to invest in your community and how that fits into The IPO Playbook Additional resources: www.TheIPOPlaybook.com Book - The IPO Playbook Your Facebook Profile: https://www.facebook.com/IPOPlaybook Your Twitter Name: @smcakebread Your Linkedin Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevecakebread/

With a storied background in the Napa Valley, Karen Cakebread forged her way through headwinds to land herself with Ziata wines. Here the stories; hear the commitment.

“It’s not cheap to go public,” concedes CFO Steve Cakebread, echoing the oft-repeated refrain that founders and CFOs confront when considering the prospect of selling shares in their companies to the public. Concessions aside, it will come as little surprise to Wall Street and private investors alike that Cakebread—a seasoned finance leader who has taken public such companies as Salesforce, Pandora, and his latest firm, Yext—has come not to bury IPOs, but to praise them.  And 2020 might be the year when founders and CEOs are prepared to listen.   Certainly, few of Cakebread’s CFO admirers are likely to question the finance leader’s keen sense of timing. In fact, more than a few will likely be making room on their bedside tables for Cakebread’s soon-to-be-released The IPO Playbook: An Insider’s Perspective on Taking Your Company Public and How to Do It Right (Silicon Valley Press, 2020). “With all of the macroeconomic and pandemic issues going on, there have been as many—if not more—IPOs through August than there have ever been in the past couple of years,” says Cakebread, signaling an optimistic note for U.S.-listed publicly held companies, which have seen their numbers cut in half over the past two decades.  The coronavirus, it turns out, might in part be the antidote for Wall Street’s IPO blues. As COVID-19 spread, many companies made greater operational discipline and efficiency top-of-mind, which in turn led to the adoption of governance practices more commonly used by publicly held companies. What’s more, they began doubling down on culture, a trend that has prompted IPO-minded founders to more thoughtfully expose the connective tissue between public ownership and social responsibility. “Most founders want to create opportunity both for themselves and for the people around them, and this happens only when you go public,” explains Cakebread, who notes that the social responsibility aspects of going public were a big incentive for each of the companies that he took public, including Salesforce, where he and CEO Marc Benioff identified a number of benefits. “Marc and I talked about it a lot before we took Salesforce public. The discipline of going public makes your organizational governance better. It makes companies more socially responsible, and this was a big item for him and for me. It grows careers and spins off other technology companies,” continues Cakebread, who joined Salesforce as employee #67, when the $17 billion company was eking out a quaint $20 million annually. According to Cakebread, public firms operate with a certain rigor that privately held firms struggle to match—and VC-backed and private equity–owned firms can at times miss the big picture. Notes Cakebread: “I actually find it tougher to work with VC boards because all they care about is the numbers. They don't care about the opportunity so much.” To Cakebread, the IPO process is important because it allows CFOs to realize their role as visionary storytellers with the ability to articulate a narrative that educates others about where the business is headed and what opportunities are being pursued. “You’re always going to have one number out of whack every quarter, but if the sell-side research people understand the underlying story, they can teach the longer vision to their investors and say, ‘This is an upsy-downsy quarter, but long-term, this business is intact,’” he observes. Asked how diminished listings of U.S. public companies have likely impacted industry over time, Cakebread points to the dynamics of wealth creation. “This has meant less access for most of us, and I think that this is helping to create this disparity between people who are very wealthy and people who aren't because they can’t get access to the market,” says Cakebread. “This is a challenging topic for a lot of people, but I personally believe that access is important because wealth distribution happens when employees and other investors get to participate,” asserts Cakebread, who believes that a new generation of investors is quickly emerging. “The retail investor is realizing that there’s opportunity and getting back into the stock market, and this next generation is starting to recognize the public market as a way to create wealth,” continues Cakebread, who cautions IPO-minded CFOs not to become too besotted by numbers.  Concludes Cakebread: “What I have found in my career is that science and numbers are important, but you need a little bit of art to make a really successful bottle of wine or a really successful company.” CFOTL:   For many CFOs -  the IPO process is challenging in terms of communications. Cakebread: That's a good part of it. I mean, you have to be able to one, love your business, have a passion around it, explain it to third parties that may not have a good idea of what you're doing. The IR function is really critical. The good news is, there's a number of very capable IR firms that can help you get through that early stage of communication. Not the least of which is your investment banker that can help you write the story of the S1, and then there's others that I've worked with my whole career and even after we've been public for five or 10 years, I still use those same IR people to bounce ideas off of, to look at my problems differently and how to communicate. Yes, if you want to be shy and introverted and don't want to talk to people, this is probably not a company that you want to take public, but you learn speaking skills, which is good for all of us, I think. You learn how to approach and answer questions and explain your story. None of that is hard. It just takes a little bit of work, but shouldn't prevent you from going public because personally, it is kind of interesting. I actually find it tougher to work with VC boards because all they care about is the numbers. They don't care about the opportunity so much. What I found in my career is science and numbers is important, but there's a little bit of art that you need to make a really successful bottle of wine or a successful company. It can't all be driven by numbers and I've been around long enough. If you remember, General Motors at one time, was known as the organization that the bean counters ran the company. Well, that company went broke and they had to bring in people with a little bit more vision and a little bit more art to the car, not all numbers. I think that's a good opportunity to really help the company see itself, not only mathematically, but in a different vision, and talking to investors is a great way to hone your story in terms of how you might talk to a customer.

A Humble Take on a Hall-of-Fame Career Yext CFO Steve Cakebread’s resume is extraordinary given the preeminent companies he’s worked for (HP, Silicon Graphics, Autodesk, Salesforce.com, Pandora and Yext), the new technology categories he’s helped bring to market, and the staggering growth those organizations posted under his corporate-finance leadership. Cakebread joined Salesforce as employee #67 when the $10 billion company was eking out a quaint $20 million annually. Despite these Lebron-esque achievements, Cakebread humbly peppers his discussion with plenty of phrases like “I was fortunate to…” Luckily for us, he also runs through a compelling set of career-building keys, including: taking promotions to difficult roles that had remained unfilled for months “because everyone else thought they would fail" at the job; amassing international experience (a decade in China and India); and learning how to explain innovative business models and entirely new product categories to analysts and other stakeholders. He also shares his personally fulfilling approach to team-building at Yext, a B2B geomarketing company that provides a software platform for streamlining all of an organization’s online listings.

In episode 24, Jim covers the story of Jane Cakebread, a woman once known internationally and now almost completely forgotten. Jane was a likeable character known throughout Victorian Britain and beyond, a woman who got herself in trouble so many times that she broke records for the number of her criminal convictions, and was the catalyst for a huge libel case between a Lady and the Pall Mall Gazette. Jane was so famous, a law was passed because of her. Was she really a drunk, or was it mental illness? Will she ever get her £15,000 inheritance? Is she the best needlewoman in Holloway gaol? Listen to find out.    Also in this episode, Violet covers some Australian traditions (lighting stuff on fire) and a letter to the editor from an Australian J.R.R. Tolkien.    Archives used in the research for this episode: British Newspaper Archive https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk Newspapers.com National Library of Australia http://trove.nla.gov.au/   New York Times Archive http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9D02E0DE113CE433A2575AC1A9649D94699ED7CF   Yesterday's Chip Paper is a fortnightly (ish) podcast that delves into newspaper archives for stories of mayhem and madness from days of yore.

In 2006, Randy left Houston to carve out a life with his wife in Napa, with the 10 year plan to come back to TX to make world class wine and push the industry. An internship at Cakebread lead to a job, then to a position at Colgin, then to work under cult winemakers like Mike Hirby and Andy Erickson. All this lead to served as the foundation of his own label, Lightning Wines, focusing on Grenache. In 2014, Randy came back to TX to launch C.L Butaud to push the possibilities of Tempranillo. Check out the podcast to hear Randy tell his story. He's made a splash already!clbutaud.comhttp://lightningwines.com/

"Dunkirk" is an elegant, poetic, and harrowing war film agree The Cogill's, but the couple split on the painfully slow, "A Ghost Story," despite the Halloween sheet performance by Casey Affleck and the 9 minute pie eating sequence by Rooney Mara. Both agree on the the profound importance of the animal loving giant pig film "Okja," from South Korea, and film critic, Gary Cogill, says "Valerian" is either one of the worst films of the year or one of the best. Wine expert, Hayley Hamilton, travel to Napa to sing the bubbly praises of "Domaine Carneros" along with delicious bottles from "Cakebread," "Merryvale," and "Pine Ridge." Then it's off to the Sonoma to "Lambert Bridge" where the Bordeaux variety wines shine, sensational Pinot Noir with "Smith Story Wines" and Chardonnay with "Ramey" and "Jordan," ending with and an impressive tasting at "Rams Gate."

I had the best conversation with Dennis Cakebread of #Cakebread #Cellars. We talked about everything from how his parents started the eponymous vineyard back in the early 1970s to what they are doing now in Washington State! So pour a glass of #wine, listen and enjoy! #cabernet #chardonnay #pinot

Kevin Zraly's Windows on the World Wine School caps a 40 year run in 2016. His bestselling Windows on the World Wine Course book is in its 31st printing. Kevin shares his views on how the wine world has changed, why women have better palates, and the next wine region he wants to visit. The Cakebread family has been making exceptional wines in Napa Valley for over 40 years. Bruce Cakebread discusses Cakebread Cellars' history, wines and Napa Green, the region's landmark environmental program.This show is broadcast live on Wednesday's at 2PM ET on W4CY Radio – (www.w4cy.com) part of Talk 4 Radio (http://www.talk4radio.com/) on the Talk 4 Media Network (http://www.talk4media.com/).

There aren’t too many winemakers like Julianne Laks. Despite a demure air of elegance, she’s quite the stand-out. Going back to 1977, she was one of only two women to graduate from the University of California at Davis that year with a degree in fermentation science. Directly out of college, Laks went to work part-time for Cakebread Cellars and was eventually appointed winemaker in 2002 – a pretty big deal in itself, as she is the only non-family member to serve there as winemaker.

We dive into the podcast vault and bust out two awesome never before heard interviews from back in the day. The first is with Bruce and Dennis Cakebread of Cakebread cellars who instead of bringing us cakebread, which is reportedly horrible, bring us some of their wine, which is pretty darn good. Then we dive into some amazing cocktails created by mixologist Jordan Catapano with frozen Dole fruit cups as the main ingredient. Then we crack open a few bottles of Hennessy VS, E & J VS, and Martell Caracter for a brandy taste test challenge.

Second podcast of the day and second Kickstarter project, this time a Roleplaying game from Cakebread & Walton, Pirates & Dragons. I had the pleasure to catch up with Pete Cakebread, which I was really looking forward to indeed. I met, really briefly, him at Conpulsion in April and didn’t get the chance to share a cup of coffee with him. I have promised myself next Conpulsion I’ll share a pint instead. That should help! With Airship Pirates and Clockword and Chivalry as an introduction card, Cakebread & Walton have demonstrated they can live up to their slogan: Purveyors of fine imaginings. During my research, it became clear that Pirates & Dragons is more than “Jonny Depp meets Gary Gygax”. There’s a reason for the dragons to be there, and a reason for the pirates. Very good reasons. So you better listen to them!

Cakebread is one of the Premeire wine makers.They make incredible whites and fantastic reds.
