Katie Nelson - Vice President of Winemaking
Katie Nelson became interested in wine starting at a young age sitting around her Italian grandparent's kitchen table. "I noticed how wine brought people together with plenty of laughter and good food to go around for everyone. I loved how vibrant life felt in those moments." She signed up for an Enology class on a whim during her time at Sonoma State University, which has led to her a successful career now serving as the Vice President of Winemaking for Chateau Ste. Michelle. "After nearly 30 years of experience, I'm inspired to be bold and take chances. I have leaned into my knowledge and enjoy challenging convention. I want to create exciting wine for people to enjoy". KATIE NELSON - VP OF WINEMAKING
