Our Team

Founder Stan Teaderman

Stan Teaderman was born in the San Francisco Bay Area. His family moved to the Napa Valley when he was a boy, where he was raised surrounded by vineyards.

Stan began his career working in the propane gas business with his father. In 1967, he cofounded his own propane company. His business expanded to Northern California, the State of Nevada, and to international operations that are all still based in San Francisco area facilities, including the wine country office in Napa.

In 1978, their longstanding passion for wine led Stan and his wife Patty to purchase the 14-acre Oakville property that became Teaderman Vineyards. At that time, the vineyard was planted solely with Sauvignon Blanc grapes, all of which were sold to Robert Mondavi Winery for their Fume Blanc. Over time, Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were also planted, and the evolution of TV wines began.

The Family: Stan, Patty & Dustin

Away from the vines, Stan and Patty are active members in the close-knit Napa Valley community, supporting youth groups, health care and many local causes. Stan also finds a little time for his other passions, including: fishing, classic cars, and travel. His love of adventure has taken him from the Yukon to Asia to the Amazon.

Back in the Valley, family and friends show up to help with harvest. With grandson, Dustin, another generation joins the team, and the Teaderman family continues its quest to develop the ultimate super premium wines for all to enjoy.
