Making Bubbles - A wine, lifestyle, and travel blog
Italian physicist Galileo Galilei once said, "Wine is sunlight, held together by water." Wine ultimately embodies these connections: the connection between the earth and the sky, the connection between you and me to the rest of the world, the connection between wine and art. I think wine is a beautiful thing, and I value every aspect of it.
I am a recent Viticulture & Enology B.S. graduate from the University of California, Davis. I love to travel and am fortunate to have explored many different parts of the world. The summer after my Freshman year at college I had the incredible opportunity to study abroad in France, learning about winemaking and acquiring sensory analysis skills of wine. I had the most amazing experience living and studying in Burgundy, while visiting and familiarizing myself with French varietals. In fact, it was this trip to France that shaped and confirmed my dream to pursue winemaking at UC Davis.

It just so happened that I was already enrolled in one of the best schools in the country for enology and viticulture, so I began shaping and laying down the educational foundation for learning the science of wine at UC Davis, while working at the campus pilot winery as a lab assistant. While in college, I worked a sparkling wine harvest in Napa Valley, and now I am finishing up a harvest in Alexander Valley, Sonoma.
I wish to continue to grow, learn, discover, and create. These are the things that fuel my passion to push myself forward.
Thanks for taking time to view my blog. I hope you enjoy!
