Within Clos du Val, she has excelled in a range of roles, from Estate Host to cellar operations and production assistant, consistently demonstrating her operational expertise, winemaking ability, and passion for the craft.
“Allie brings an unbeatable combination of technical skill, operational excellence and a talent for sharing the Clos du Val story through our wines,” says Winemaker Carmel Greenberg. “Her enthusiasm, dedication and collaborative spirit have made her an invaluable member of our team.
