Montinore Estate Appoints Two Women to Top Positions

Biodynamic wineries do seem to have a lot more women at the helm than other types of wineries. And that applies both in the vineyards and in the top dog's desk.

Kristin Marchesi, President, Montinore Estate

Congrats to Montinore Estate for passing the Presidential baton from Rudy Marchesi to Kristin Marchesi, who's been the general manager at Montinore Estate for many years. She is the second generation of her family to run Montinore.

Karen Peterson, Viticulturist, Montinore Estate

Today the winery announced the appointment of Karen Peterson as Viticulturist, overseeing one of the two largest Biodynamic vineyards in the U.S. with 250 acres of certified vines.
