 I come from a big family in Delaware, but when my parents moved my three siblings and I to North Carolina, we all quickly called it home. I studied Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Biology at Appalachian State University, and I am incredibly grateful for the adventures I had in the beautiful mountains. While breweries dominated in the west, and I took full advantage, I always enjoyed a glass of white wine, although I knew nothing about wine back then! After college, I moved back to my hometown, and I fell into my position at CHWC by word-of-mouth and an interest in learning about this niche in the beverage and agriculture industries. It is unbelievable how much I’ve learned and tasted while working with this amazing team, and I can now say a love for Burgundian and other French wine has taken hold. My instinct will probably always be to reach for an Albarino or crisp Italian white wine, though!
