Catherine Kistler

Winemaker/CEO

I graduated cum laude from Harvard College in 2015 as a Joint Concentrator in the Classics and History.

No one has all the answers for farming the cold, coastal headlands where we are growing pinot noir, so it’s exciting to be able to learn alongside my father and focus on just one variety.

Since joining him in 2017, I’ve learned more than I could have ever imagined about working in this field and what it takes to produce wines at a consistently high level as he has for four decades. Working at a small, family business means embracing all of the highs and lows, taking everything personally, and owning what you do. I feel very lucky to be able to combine my curiosity and drive with my absolute love of the world of wine and food and the people in it.

In 2022, I assumed the title of Winemaker and CEO and continue to direct all day-to-day winery operations.
