Kelly is the first woman winemaker in the Long Island wine industry. She grew up closely connected to the vineyards in her hometown of St. Helena, California. After receiving her B.S. in Viticulture & Enology from UC Davis she was selected as a Laureate by the Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin in Burgundy, which allowed her to work the 2003 harvest at Maison Louis Jadot. She ultimately became Assistant Winemaker at Bouchaine Vineyards in Carneros (Napa Valley) in 2004. A new addition to the North Fork, Kelly is busy learning how to sail and playing in the beach volleyball league. |
