Small boutique winery focused on premium, small lot Pinot Noir, Tempranillo, Syrah, and Grenache.

Large scale production of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc (1,200,000 cases).

In this role, I researched leaf preference of atta cephalotes (leaf-cutter ants). This position included field research in the Amazon Rainforest in Tiputini, Ecuador. The goal of this research was to evaluate leaf cutter ants' adaptability to changes in leaf availability. As the climate continues to change and deforestation remains an evident threat to the amazon's ecological systems, it is important to evaluate how indicator species, like leaf cutter ants, evolve.
