Phil Potter was always an inspiration to me for many years during my 30 years at Horseneck Wines. He was Top Class and very interested in the work that I was doing and accomplishments. In some way he was a terrific mentor in my early days. He will be always in my thoughts. My extreme condolences to his loving family
