Maynard James Keenan is the proprietor of Merkin Winery and Caduceus Cellars in Jerome, Arizona. Listen to his story in this special presentation of The Grape Nation.
Let me start off by saying Maynard James Keenan is one heavy dude, one who can articulate his heaviness through music and wine. But in the end, he is a funny, creative, kinda light-hearted guy. Born in Ohio, Maynard saw his way through art school, and the United States Army, eventually gravitating to Los Angeles and its music scene. He formed Tool around 1990, A Perfect Circle in 1999 and Puscifer in 2007, critically acclaimed, award-winning and wildly successful bands with true cult followings. He just finished his Sessanta tour celebrating his sexagenarianism. Sometime around 2005, he followed a reoccurring vision and moved to Arizona, where he has become a prolific wine maker and promoter of wines from the state.
