Terence Dewane has been making wine since 1986. He graduated from Rutgers University with a degree in Business Management.

He followed his passion to Northern California to study Viticulture at UC Davis while working at Cakebread Cellars. Upon graduation, he went to work for Johnson-Turnbull as assistant winemaker.

In 1993, he took on the restoration of Pope Valley Cellars as General Manager/Winemaker. In 1995, he took the position of assistant winemaker at Clos Pegas Winery in Calistoga. During this time he founded Belo Wine Company. He is currently developing a vineyard in Pope Valley, specializing in Portuguese varieties.
