Accomplishments

Adrienne Lindsay Ferrara was selected to serve on the Advisory Committee for Dream Big Darling, an organization dedicated to fostering the success of women in the wine and spirits industry through mentorship, education, life enhancement and professional retreats.  

When ordering wine off a menu, I always look for something I haven't tried.  I look for the weirdest variety first, then unknown producers.  Thank you to all the adventurous sommeliers out there!

Coupled with my corporate resume, in 2004 my husband and I started making small-lot Italian-varietal wines.  Today we produce a couple thousand cases and manage a small winery and tasting room in San Luis Obispo.  We have now completed our 10th harvest, making varieties that include: Malvasia Bianca, Aglianico, Sagrantino, Montepulciano, Sangiovese and more.
