Hope Goldie is our master of a thousand decisions. Hope oversees all enology and wine production operations; she carries on the meticulous attention paid in the vineyard into the cellar, laboratory, and crush pad. Her work is in fine-tuning – lot by lot, she applies her vast knowledge of fermentation science, sensory chemistry, viticulture, and enology. Hope's dream of becoming a winemaker formed in childhood, working alongside her father in Washington making Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Carignan and was crystallized under the tutelage of sensory chemist Ann Noble at UC Davis. As her lead grad student, the California Department of Food & Agriculture sponsored Hope’s quantitative microbiology thesis work on Botrytis Cineria.
