WINEMAKER, KATIE CARTER

As a Sonoma County native, and graduate of UC Berkeley, over the years Katie has demonstrated a keen interest in winemaking of various styles as well as in-depth knowledge of Sonoma County. Prior to joining DeLoach, Katie had pursued her passion overseas, completing a harvest with Mulderbosch Vineyards in South Africa as well as working with a wide variety of winemaking styles with Tandem Winery and Greg & Greg Custom Crush in Sebastopol. In 2006, Katie joined the DeLoach team as the enologist and was later promoted to assistant winemaker and then winemaker. In January 2014 she became the winemaker for Lyeth Estate and in 2017 the winemaker for Wattle Creek Winery. Her positive energy and can-do attitude has helped lead our cellar and winemaking team in the production of world-class, award-winning wines and any project with her involvement is sure to shine.
