SPOTLIGHT
Growing up, Mia Stornetta's family almost always had wine on their dinner table, while the conversation focused on cows and grapes. During high school, she participated in pruning contests and when it came time to decide on a career path, there wasn't any question about pursuing agriculture. Mia headed south from Sonoma to attend Cal Poly while pursuing a degree in Agri-Business and Soil Science. She now works as a Winery Relations representative for Atlas Vineyard Management and was recently named to North Bay Business Journal's Forty Under 40 List. Here's Mia's story.
