VI N T N ER G R A NT HONOREES | DAVID & K ARY DU N CAN
David and Kary are the proprietors of Silver Oak Alexander
Valley and Twomey, Russian River Valley, owned by the Duncan
family. As Chairman & CEO, David reimagined Silver Oak by using
cutting-edge technologies and was the first winery to receive LEED
Platinum certification for Building Design and Construction and
became the largest, certified Living Building in the world.
Twomey is a specialized small producer of collectible single vineyard
Pinot Noir. All of Silver Oak and Twomey’s vineyards are certified
under The California Sustainable Winemaking Program, a criterion
viewed as central to both land stewardship and wine quality.
Kary is an accomplished medical professional and has a private
dermatology practice, Duncan Dermatology, in the Napa Valley.
At Silver Oak and Twomey Cellars, Kary was instrumental in the rebuild of the Napa Valley winery as a key advisor on
architecture and design issues and serves as a “family ambassador” at winery events, including those that support the
philanthropic organizations with which she and David are closely involved.
Kary is a two-time cancer survivor from an aggressive form of MDS, or Myelodysplastic Syndrome, a rare disease in
which the bone marrow fails to make enough healthy red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets. David and Kary
live in St. Helena and have three college-age children: Connor, Maeve, and Jack. When not making wine, David plays
guitar and sings with the Silverado Pickups, a band he co-founded with his friend and fellow vintner Jeff Gargiulo of
Gargiulo Vineyards.
We are honored to pay tribute to David and Kary Duncan as our
inaugural Vintner Grant Honorees for Sonoma Epicurean 2022
