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 thing about working in the wine room is introducing people to their new favorite wine!! Always fun to get acquainted with a customer’s palate while helping them to find something new and exciting. My favorite Comanche Cellars wine is so hard to choose! The Pinot Noirs we produce in this part of the world are beyond amazing! Michael lets the wine speak for itself, and his choice of grapes and AVAs are never disappointing 😊 Being mostly a dark red lover, our Malbec and Petite Sirah are my go-tos, but I honestly love all our wine! Anyone who has met me knows that I’m happiest when surrounded by dogs, so give me a beautiful day with some puppies and I’m in heaven. 🥰 And I’ll never turn down a beach day or a hike in Big Sur! I love working in wine industry because wine is such a work of art; it involves science, agriculture, geography, and storytelling… The social and cultural aspects of sharing wine while discussing aromas and flavors never gets old. Working in the wine industry not only teaches me about local winemaking practices, but also leads to gaining knowledge of global cuisine, culture, and lifestyle that no other industry offers. |
