Cristina Gonzales’ passion for wine began while traveling as a backpacker through South America in 2001 and landing in Mendoza, Argentina, the epicenter of South American Malbec. A fateful meal combining a luscious Argentinian steak and the perfect Malbec was the spark that led Cristina down the path of winemaking and eventually to establishing her own wine brand. She entered the wine industry in 2006 and eagerly absorbed as much information as she could, learning from hands-on experience working harvests in California, Oregon, Tasmania and Australia.
