Speakers

Susan & Duane Hoff

Fantesca Estate & Winery

Founders & Owners

College sweethearts, Susan and Duane Hoff met in 1985 just as “Sound of Music”, a 4 store stereo shop in Minnesota was changing its name to Best Buy. As their relationship grew, so did the young company. The Hoff’s worked there until Best Buy became a Fortune 100 company and had the best performing stock on the NYSE of the 1990’s.

In 2004, they shifted their focus to wine and founded Fantesca Estate & Winery.

With Heidi Barrett as their winemaker, Jim Barbour their vineyard manager, and star Sommelier DLynn Proctor as their national director, the Hoff’s have assembled an All Star team to make and showcase their Napa Valley and Sonoma Russian River wines.

His many accomplishments include working alongside Michelin chefs, and features in TV series and films—including the internationally acclaimed wine documentary series, SOMM and work as Associate Producer in Netflix’s featured film, Uncorked—have earned him recognition as “Somm to the Stars” in popular culture.

As a leader in the beverage industry, DLynn has spent the last decade in global leadership roles with Penfolds Winery and Fantesca Estate & Winery, focusing on import/export, sales, marketing, strategy, and consumer relations.

The previous decade of his career, DLynn was instrumental in building restaurant and training programs, private client and retail wine lists, and expanding new venue operations, while garnering accolades as an accomplished sommelier.
