GOLETA,
Calif., May 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Prominently
featured in The Inner Circle, Douglas William Trantow is
acknowledged as a Pinnacle Life Member for his contributions to the
fields of Music Production and Wine Retail.
Mr. Trantow attended California State
University, Dominguez Hills where he earned a Bachelor's
degree in Music Production in 1991. He has experienced an
extraordinary career in both the music industry and his most recent
project in the wine industry. In the Music Business Doug worked on
a variety of projects as a mixer, engineer, and producer. He was
the recording engineer for Joe
Cocker on the '2010 album Hard Knocks, Matchbox20's '2012
album North, Nine Inch Nails' '2007 album Year Zero; Santanas' 2010
collection entitled Guitar Heaven, and Hanson's '2000 album This
Time Around. Doug engineered and mixed the '1998 Hootie & the
Blowfish album Musical Chairs, produced and engineered Linkin
Park's '2002 remix album Reanimation, and Widespread Panic's '2001
album Don't Tell the Band. He has also mixed and produced a number
of movie and television scores, including 82 episodes of CSI Miami
from '2005-2008; the '2003 film Intermission, the '2005 film The
Book of Eli; the '2017 films The House; The Pirates of Somalia; and the '2019 film Drunk Parents.
Expanding his business acumen, Mr. Trantow recently opened his
own company, The Good Land Wine Shop & Bar in 2022. He notes
that it is well-regarded in the community and offers a unique
selection of locally sourced and produced wines from the central
coast of California. He explained
that the shop hosts winemaker events every week where customers can
meet the makers of the wine sold by his company.
A Grammy and Juno-nominated music professional, Mr. Trantow
continues to maintain his affiliation with several music
industry-related organizations, including the Audio Engineering
Society Inc. and the Recording Academy (formally known as the
National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences). Along the way
Mr. Trantow has earned his sommelier accreditation from The Court
of Master Sommeliers to be able to provide the highest quality
experience for his clients.
When considering his illustrious career, Doug largely attributes
his success to his determination. He decided to pursue selling wine
when he realized that in his 30 years of experience in the music
industry, it was rapidly changing, and he was compelled to seek a
new trade. Crediting his experience working in the restaurant
industry as a waiter, manager, and wine buyer in his early years as
the catalyst for his move to owning a wine shop, Mr. Trantow
has established an exclusive market with his shop that only
specializes in locally made wine.
Looking to the future, Mr. Trantow plans to continue his work
with local wines. He would like to dedicate this honor with special
thanks to Brian Babcock.
