FRAMINGHAM

New Zealand
 

My first harvest abroad allowed me to gain an understanding of the vast world of wine and the strength in the wine community.

 

I grew a deep appreciation for travel and began my commitment of keeping connections across the globe.

 

I was also able to learn the importance of exports and imports. Most importantly, I learned that no two harvests are alike.

 

While making wine with co-workers from all over the world, my palate was awakened as I tasted and learned about the many wines of the world.

LYNMAR
ESTATE

Sebastopol, California
 

My very first harvest will always hold a significant place in my wine-book-of-memories. Lynmar is an established winery producing high-quality wines. I have had the privilege of sharing Lynmar wines on many occasions, but my hope is to expand those opportunities with TableAhna.

 

When hired, I was a recent college graduate with a very broad overview of wine and no cellar experience. I had a deep desire to learn more about the wine industry. 

 

I packed my bags and drove from Colorado to Northern California to work my first harvest. I quickly learned the love and labor behind each bottle of wine. The winemaker mentored and encouraged me to continue my wine harvest experience by working abroad. This led me to my second harvest in Marlborough, New Zealand.

JOSEPH PHELPS VINEYARDS

Freestone, California
 

The most recent place I worked a harvest was at Joseph Phelps Vineyards (JPV) in Freestone, CA. I completed two full harvests. In my final harvest, I had the chance to manage a passionate team of interns.
 

 

I developed strong personal and professional connections at JPV. Some of my fondest memories stem from those I have met and have been mentored by whom have a passion for wine, a relationship with good food, and enjoy being at the table.
 

 

I left with respect for and in awe of the wine industry as a whole.
