Dakota

Orig­i­nal­ly from Tem­ple­ton, Dako­ta moved back from the Bay Area after attend­ing col­lege and get­ting her Bach­e­lors and Mas­ters Degrees. She orig­i­nal­ly became inter­est­ed in the wine indus­try when study­ing in Italy and tak­ing a wine mak­ing and pair­ing class. As she loves learn­ing, one of her favorite things about wine is that it is a con­stant learn­ing process.

She is par­tic­u­lar­ly inter­est­ed in sus­tain­abil­i­ty and sus­tain­able farm­ing prac­tices, which is one rea­son she enjoys work­ing at Cas­toro. Out­side of work, she is pas­sion­ate about music, activism, and nature.
