History
American vintner Joseph Carr first began developing Josh Cellars in 2005 in collaboration with Sonoma-based winemaker Tom Larson.[2] The company's name is a tribute to Joseph Carr's late father Josh, who was not a winemaker but rather a military veteran who also worked as a lumberjack and volunteer firefighter.[3][4] The name was first suggested by Carr's mother; as Carr recounted, "although she was half joking when she said it, I loved the idea."[3]
The company launched their first wine, a Cabernet Sauvignon, in 2007.[5]
