Michelle is humbled by wine. She studied wine for far too long, yet still somehow studies it to this day. Having cut her oenological teeth in Washington state, Davis California, and outback Australia, she has been fortunate enough since then to coax her porphyritic hands into crafting halcyon California wines at such prestigious sites as Colgin Cellars and Cliff Lede Vineyards in Napa Valley, and Peter Michael Winery in Sonoma Valley. She continues to advise at Napa’s Bryant Family Vineyards, complementing her winemaking projects in Napa, Sonoma, Italy,
and Victoria.
