Along with his wife, Mary Dewane, Joe Anderson founded Benovia in 2002. Anderson grew up in a family that valued hard work and strong ethics and built an exceptional career of helping others in the healthcare industry. He found his second vocation in the Russian River Valley, helping out at winery sorting tables during harvest time and tasting regularly at wineries like Rochioli. His watershed wine moment occurred in 2002, when Burt Williams poured him a glass of 1993 Williams Selyem Cohn Vineyard Pinot Noir. Profoundly moved by what he had tasted, Anderson later purchased the venerable Cohn Vineyard, the oldest Pinot Noir vineyard in the Russian River Valley. Together, serving the underserved remains a priority for Joe and Mary through their community work and philanthropic efforts locally and around the country.
In this episode, Anderson discusses his 17-year-long career working for the Arizona State Government where he helped address the state’s failing Medicaid system, his journey co-founding Schaller Anderson, as well what ultimately led him to the wine industry.
