Michael Simons, Winemaker
Sarah
My favorite part about working in the wine room is Michael’s wine of course, but also the
incredible people that I have the chance to meet when they walk through our doors.
My favorite Comanche wine…wait, I only get to pick ONE?! I do love the La Vaquera, but my new favorite is our Maverick.
My personal hobby is spending time with my two amazing kids.
I was drawn to a job in the wine industry because I grew up with wine and the appreciation for each varietal but I wanted to expand my knowledge and learn from someone who had a passion for wine making.​

​​My favorite thing about working in the wine room is that the people are always so warm and friendly, eager to learn about and enjoy Michael’s wine! They want to hear the stories of the wine, grape varietals and the winemaker himself. We’re not just pouring you a glass with empty interaction, we’re creating an experience that connects people to the wine. Working at Comanche has brought truly wonderful people into my life, I feel so lucky!
My favorite Comanche wine is Il Rinnegato -- a fantastic Super Tuscan wine, a nostalgic tribute to the nuances of a traditional Italian red. Perfectly named ‘The Renegade’, it’s a cheeky nod to the history of Super Tuscans that shaped the course of Italian winemaking!
My hobbies include anything arts. I love music, drawing, singing, writing, reading, museums, painting, theatre, cinema, all of it! I caught the travel bug when I was 20, and now I’m always planning my next adventure.
I'm drawn to this industry because wine is always changing. It’s a subject that will never stagnate because it’s a product of countless variables, the complexity of wine is what drew me to the industry. It’s completely fascinating and I never want to stop learning more!

My favorite part about working in the wine room would be meeting all the great customers that come in, whether it’s hearing where they are traveling from or just chatting with the locals.
My favorite wine would be La Vaquera.
On my free time, I like to travel as much as possible. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. My boyfriend and I also enjoy walking our two dogs, Opie and Cherry pie.
I’m drawn to a job in the wine industry because I thoroughly enjoy wine and what better way to learn more about wine then working in a tasting room.

Working at the wine room brings me so much happiness. My favorite thing by far, are the people that come in to share in not only our wine, but truly enjoy an experience at Comanche. It’s an amazing place to take a breath from daily life, taste incredible wines and meet one of a kind people. You always feel welcomed. 
Favorite Wine: that’s a tough one. Each one truly does have something new and different to bring to the taste buds. (Maverick... shhhh).
I love running, traveling and drinking wine.
I first began loving wine on a visit to Italy. I never anticipate working in the wine industry until I wandered into Comanche one day and genuinely felt right at home.
