When I was younger, my folks would travel through the Central Coast wine region and go wine tasting. I became enamored with what I thought was the idyllic lifestyle. I attended Sonoma State University and earned a degree in Business and being in Sonoma County, wine is one of the largest industries. An opportunity presented itself at a small winery that allowed me to dabble in most parts of the operation ranging from the vineyard to production, to sales and marketing.

Not really sure, but it would have to be something that was immersed in the outdoors.

Making something tangible. Taking the great fruit that we receive from our great vineyard sources and helping craft wines that speak to a sense of place. The job requires both mental and physical stamina and there is a great sense of gratification after a hard day’s work.
