Claudia takes on many responsibilities including handling many of the day-to-day winery operations as well as participating in overall business planning. Claudia comes to us from Southern California where she received her Bachelors Degree from Scripps College and her Masters Degree from UCLA. She has valuable experience in multiple facets of the wine industry and has been employed with several growers and wineries, including LNP Vineyards, Erath Vineyards, and Nichols Winery. Having been raised by an Italian father with a life-long passion for both food and wine, Claudia was essentially born a wine lover. Having traveled extensively throughout her life, she has been exposed to many different cultures and has a strong appreciation for good food and wine from all over the world. In her spare time, Claudia enjoys visiting her parents at their family vineyards in Paso Robles and going out in the exciting city of San Francisco where she is currently living. So far her transition from Los Angeles to San Francisco has been very easy (she has fallen in love with the Bay Area!). |
