ABOUT KELLY
Kelly was raised in Sonoma County, and grew up following in her parents footsteps in the restaurant and catering side of Hospitality. After having her first child, Blake, she decided to be a stay-at-home mom. Once baby number two, Leah, came around Kelly realized that she needed a “day off” and began to explore the bustling local wine industry.
Based primarily in Sebastopol, Kelly worked in various tasting rooms beginning in 2015. She eventually made her way to the Emeritus tasting room in 2017, and has grown into the position of spearheading our online phone sales. If you’ve placed an order over the phone, chances are it was with her!
When not at work Kelly enjoys spending time with family and friends. Her favorite activities wine tasting, yoga, hanging out by the pool or at the beach, and hiking with her kids.
