SALES AND MARKETING DIRECTOR Stacy Manley began her wine industry career with Francis Mahoney a decade ago, working one day a week in the tasting room. That arrangement lasted for one day. By the second week, Stacy was a full-time employee.She had spent the previous decade as a brain injury, spinal cord and stroke rehabilitation therapist, coordinating outpatient services at a clinic in San Diego. She moved to the wine country expecting to take a year off. After one month, I was thoroughly bored, she admits.I answered an ad in the paper and came to work for the Mahoneys.Soon Stacy was managing the tasting room, building the wine club and helping design a new visitors center. Over the years she has expanded her duties to include calling on accounts and working with distributors, overseeing sales while still wearing a variety of hats at the winery. |
