Tied him to the clowns last time I was working on Napa. will go dig up that connection
Peter Sichel. Clown asked Huneeus to help some "friends of his" from Germany with running Franciscan Estates. Friends were the Eckes family
>By 1985, Huneeus had sold his share of Noble Vineyards to his partners, and had acquired and built up Concannon, before selling it to a British company looking to get into California. It was at this point that he had a call from Peter Sichel in New York, asking whether he could help the Eckes family, friends in Germany. The Eckes had acquired the Franciscan estate and winery in Napa and were nunhappy with what was happening there. Sichel asked him if he could take a look and offer advice.
