We are absolutely thrilled about the reopening of the Estate Winery this weekend! To mark the occasion, we want to shine a spotlight on our Santa Cruz Mountains Tasting Room extraordinaire, Sophia Spigarelli! Join us this Saturday or Sunday, from 12-5 pm, to celebrate spring in the vineyard🍷.

How long have you worked at BBV, and in what capacity?
This spring is two years! I was hired as Tasting Room Associate, I am currently the lead at the Estate winery.

What made you want to work at the BBV?
I wanted to work at BBV because I love the atmosphere, the people (employees and guests), and of the wine. It’s a very chill environment, and it is easy to take pride in the product.

What is your favorite BBV wine? Why?
2018 or 2019 Estate Rattlesnake Rock Syrah because it ticks all the boxes for me. Full bodied, fruit forward, great mouthfeel and smooth finish.

What three BBV wines would you bring on a desert island?
Estate Vineyard Rattlesnake Rock Syrah, Brokentop Ranch Viognier, and Gabilan Mountains GSM.

What do you love about the Santa Cruz?
I love Santa Cruz for its great climate, diverse landscape, and culture. I love the ocean, but I now live in the redwoods. I’ve lived in Santa Cruz for over 50 years, from La Selva to Bonny Doon and many points in between. I feel very fortunate to call it home.

What are your passions outside of work?
My passions outside of work are farming South African flowers, traveling, hiking, camping, cooking, swimming, listening to music, dancing, practicing yoga, and hanging out with a great group of friends.

What’s something that recently made you smile?
Completing the O trek in Patagonia with my daughter made me smile.
