I announced my retirement to our Board of Directors in February and NOW the time has arrived...this is my last week at the Wine Road,

after 26 years. After Friday, any email sent to beth@wineroad.com will bounce back to you - permanently out of office :-) I hope you all have a great summer! Beth Link to blog and more details.

A new director has been hired by the Board, many of you already know Katie Ambrosi, who has been the Marketing Director for Wilson Artisan Wines for many years. I know she will bring renewed energy, ideas and innovation to the job, as Wine Road heads into the next 50 years!

Congratulations and welcome to Katie.

You can reach out to her at Katie@wineroad.com,

although she officially begins work June 1st.

Link to official press release HERE.

I also want to make sure our members are aware that Debbie is also leaving us and heading out on her own, with plans to do some consulting work.

So if you can use a little help, email Debbie Osborn.

We will be organizing a silent auction for our 50th Grand Tasting on Sept. 26th. Would you like to make a donation for the Silent Auction, which will benefit the Redwood Empire Food Bank. Click to download the form and we'll get that ball rolling! Thanks.
