Chip Forsythe, 34

Winemaker/CEO, Rebel Coast Winery, Sonoma, CA

Sativa in your Sauvignon Blanc

California law doesn’t allow THC to mix with booze, but the Texas-raised Forsythe, an entrepreneur and Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo grad, decided to view the restriction as an opportunity. In 2018, he released the Rebel Coast Cannabis Infused Sauvignon Blanc, the world’s first alcohol-free, cannabis-infused wine. It sold out immediately. This hasn’t been his first success either: Forsythe sold his fledgling operation, Slo Down Wines, in 2012, before launching Rebel Coast, which also sells regular wine under the Reckless Love Wines brand. —Inset photo by Charlotte Yates
