Kent's daughter, Amanda, is now the president of the winery, while her other daughter, Kailyn, is a label designer."
"Founder Rosie Fierro said owning her own winery has been a dream come true and she praised the women of the Livermore Valley wine community. We have a higher percentage of women-owned wineries and winemakers than in other areas throughout the U.S., she said. And we are proud of the collaboration and support we give to one another as women in this industry."
