What do you enjoy most about your role?

As our Inventory Manager I am often shuffling wine to support our team and customers. This at times can require creative problem solving (and lots of spreadsheets) to ensure wine is in the right place at the right time, which is a challenge and joy. Working with our incredible team, getting to see their drive and learn from them every day, is another joy!

What brought you into the wine industry?

Coming from the coffee world I've been lucky to experience how meaningful connecting over food and beverage can be. Wine ties this with local agriculture and stewardship of our beautiful state in a way that elevates that connection. 

What is your favorite wine?

Our incredible White Pinot Noir, Coeur Blanc!

What is your favorite way to enjoy wine?

A sunny summer day on the patio or girls night watching a favorite teen drama (Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars, etc.) are the best pairings in my book!

What are your passions?
When I'm not at work I love to spend time with my husband, family and friends. Being born and raised in Oregon I love to get out and enjoy all our beautiful state has to offer whether it's hiking, heading to the beach, or showing friends my favorite brewery. I'm also passionate about schooling and am hoping to earn more degrees and even teach business someday!
