Don Sebastiani (born February 15, 1953), is an American businessman, vintner, and politician who served as a member of the California State Assembly from 1980 to 1986.
Sebastiani soon returned to Sonoma to run his family's wine business, Sebastiani Vineyards, where he took production from little more than 200,000 cases to nearly eight million in 15 years. Also, in 1986, along with brother-in-law Roy Cecchetti, Sebastiani began a negociant-style winery, Cecchetti Sebastiani Cellar (CSC). CSC developed the label Pepperwood Grove and the two grew their business to nearly 400,000 cases by 1999.[3]
In the spring of 2001, Sebastiani left the company and, along with his sons Donny and August, started Don Sebastiani & Sons, which developed Smoking Loon and Plungerhead.
Personal life
In 1975, he married fellow USF student Nancy Cecchetti, with whom he has three children.
