The Good Stuff – Benziger Family Winery

In this episode of The Good Stuff presented by the Sonoma County Winegrowers, hosts Virginie Boone and Karissa Kruse talk to Lisa Amaroli, Director of Winemaking at Benziger Family Winery.

About Lisa Amaroli

Lisa began her journey in the wine industry in 1996 shortly after graduating from Sonoma State University with a degree in Biology and Chemistry. Having lived and worked in Europe before college, Lisa gained a perspective into “living” a food and wine lifestyle, which sparked her passion for wine. Lisa’s career in wine started in the vineyards, later working in the lab and operations, before joining the team at Benziger Family Winery in 1999. She is dedicated to cultivating Certified Biodynamic and Organic wines, believing they reflect both the land and the people who bring them from grape to bottle. When not making wine, Lisa is an avid horseback rider, traveler, and is forever looking for the perfect wine and food combination.
