Recently I had the opportunity to catch up with Dick Keenan of Overland Wines and Kick Ranch Vineyards. Dick is a Notre Dame and Yale Law School graduate and former trial lawyer. After 31 years as a litigating attorney, Dick Keenan says there are three major things that have carried over into his second career: “What I most enjoyed in my law practice was working with great partners – bright, decent people you can rely on to do good work and back you up,” Keenan says. “Also, litigation involves complex facts that need to be explained; for that you need expert witnesses, so I got used to finding people who know their fields really well.” However, it was time to make a change, Dick approached his wife Kathy and told here that he would like to do something different. With her support, he made a break for it and become a wine grower and eventually a wine producer. www.UncorkedMonthly.com
