Originally from California, Krista spent years traveling and working with small winemakers. She knew she wanted to make organic wine, but because of financial reasons and not having access to land, it wasn’t going to happen in California. Through determination, she landed a job as a winemaker and assistant farmer at a La Garagista, a natural wine company. Under the mentorship of Deirdre Heekin, she helped redefine winemaking in New England by focusing on Biodynamics in the vineyard and natural vinification practices. Now the owner of her own wine company, Krista was named to Wine Enthusiast magazine’s 2018 list of the “Top 40 Under 40 Tastemakers.”
