Michael Sage, aka Sage, joined the Trione Team early 2018. Born and raised in St. Louis, MO, as a kid, Sage recalls the multiple trips to Missouri wineries and tasting rooms with his parents, growing grapes, and ‘trying’ to make drinkable wine with his dad and grandfather. After many years working in fine dining and Country Clubs, Sage officially entered the wine industry in 2004. Now, as National Sales Manager for Trione, Sage loves it and says “It just does not get any better than a winery such as Trione Vineyards & Winery!  Pinch me!”
