Janet Carnegie
Morro Bay is Janet’s home port! Spending her youth exploring the many local trails on horseback, totally inspired her adult life. Still able to find those old trails of long ago, although now on foot. She’s in constant awe of where she grew-up! After raising five free spirited children on the central coast, Janet took a minute to pour herself a glass of wine. There’s always a great story in a glass of wine! She has been pouring “Dam Fine Wine” for 15 years… now that’s hard to believe! It has truly been great to share the story of Castoro Cellars and tell of Neils and Bimmer’s Udsen’s community and family values.
On her days off you might spot her out kayaking on the bay, walking miles on the beach or dancing always barefoot at one of our many community concerts.
