Angela's view of winemaking has been shaped greatly by her mentor Jim. They both see winemaking as a combination of science and art. Angela does tend to lean a little more heavily on the artistic side.

“I really want the grapes to be the best expression of themselves rather than force them into what they “should be” or “have been” in the past. If you want to insult my wine, tell me it’s consistent. I hate that. I want it to be consistently good, but not consistent. Every vintage should be an expression of that year; it should be a journey, an exploration, a new adventure for your taste buds, and everyone should be excited for the new version of their favorite varietal! In that way, it is art. Science comes in when something goes wrong, my job is more to keep it from going wrong in the first place so that I can stay on the artistic side.”
