Taylor Abudi, Viticulturist
Distinguished Vineyards & Wine Partners
MacRostie Winery
| | Taylor Abudi grew up in the Pacific Northwest, attending high school in Portland, Oregon. She learned quickly about the importance of making connections with other kids, since she’d moved frequently as a child. When it came to college Taylor was interested in science but she knew that a job in a science lab wasn’t for her. Instead, she was looking for an occupation that would challenge and invigorate her throughout her lifetime. She chose Viticulture & Enology. Today she works with Heidi Bridenhagen at MacRostie, helping to grow and produce world-class wines from Nightwing Vineyard in the Petaluma Gap. Here's Taylor’s story. | | |
