About Janice
I grew up in Santa Rosa, California, joined 4H and spent time raising chickens, training dogs, riding horses (dressage and three day events) and growing vegetables. I love being outdoors, working in the vineyard and garden and so appreciate the family history of the wonderful vineyard we live on and manage.
Educationally, I spent two years at the fantastic Santa Rosa Junior College, then headed to UC Davis where I focused on Food and Wine, graduating with a B.S. in Food Science and a M.S. from the famous UC Davis Enology & Viticulture Department.
After graduation, I joined Jordan Winery as Enologist and worked with their phenomenal winemaker Rob Davis and legendary wine consultant André Tchelistcheff. I spent 20 years as senior Enologist where I learned to help craft the quintessential Cabernet sauvignon from Sonoma County.
