Winemaker
After graduating from the University of Washington in 2003 with degrees in Biochemistry and Cell & Molecular Biology with minors in Chemistry and Botany, she began a world tour following the fall grape harvests and learning winemaking skills from renowned winemakers. She returned to the Pacific Northwest for a job as a Laboratory Manager in the Willamette Valley. There, she developed a state-of-the-art, quality control laboratory and managed several harvest interns. But haunted by the need to produce her own wines under her own label designs, she returned to the Seattle area and made some phone calls to purchase 2 tons of ultra-premium wine grapes from Red Mountain, Washington.
Because one can’t live off of wine alone, she continued her scientific pursuits with a short stint at a Seattle pharmaceutical company in the formulations department studying stability, shelf-life, and degradation of chemical compounds purposed for FDA studies. Meanwhile, Angela licensed her first winery in Seattle where she produced her debut vintages of WineGirl Wines including Viognier, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Searching for more leadership skills, she entered the MBA program at the Foster School of Business in 2008. Graduating in 2010 with an MBA in marketing and entrepreneurship, she started commercial production and distribution of her award-winning wines in Lake Chelan, Washington.
When not in the tasting room or in the winery, she can be found enjoying the sun, riding her Harley, spinning donuts on her forklift, training for marathons, practicing yoga, or spending time with her furry kid Quincy.
