"It's agriculture, right? Not agri-business. This is part of our cultural history and something worth preserving." – Christina Turley
Christina is the 2nd generation of the Turley wine family. After cutting her teeth in the hospitality world as a college student in New York at Gramercy Tavern and becoming the sommelier and beverage director for David Chang's Momofuku family of restaurants, Christina moved back to California to go all-in on Zinfandel. Today, she feels a responsibility to honor and protect California’s historic old vines—particularly her favorite varietal, the one she calls “the Dolly Parton of American wine”—and create more opportunities to socialize through the age-old tradition of sharing a bottle of wine.
