Charlie Crocker | Co-Owner
A San Francisco businessman, Charlie has had a life-long love affair with the Napa Valley as well as an enduring interest in wine. In 1971, Charlie and his wife Lucinda acquired the historic Dowdell property in St. Helena that included both vineyards and old stone buildings from the 1870s, and decided to bring it back to life. Charlie began by replanting and selling grapes, making wine for family and developing vineyards he sold to other wineries.
Desiring to complete the resurrection of the old wine estate, in 1997 Charlie established Crocker & Starr with Pam Starr whose Bordeaux-style wine he greatly admired.ย
Pam Starr | Co-Owner & Founding Winemaker
Pam Starr has been the co-owner, manager and winemaker of Crocker & Starr since its inception in 1997 when she helped resurrect the vineyards on the Crocker Estate in St. Helena and established a winery to create world-class wines. After toiling as a winery employee for 18 years, Pamโs transformation at a relatively young age into owner, manager and winemaker was unique and remarkable. It required a special mix of skill, passion and dedication. All of which describe Pam Starr.
Julie Robertson | Winemaker
For Julie, winemaking incorporates her passion for design, creativity, and the aesthetic value found in architecture. Wine-growing emphasizes Julieโs innateness for design working with the soil and the elements (a love she has had since childhood) and the physical nature of translating grapes into great wines. In her free time, Julie enjoys cooking, hiking, traveling, and spending time in the great outdoors with friends and family.
