SEPTEMBER 2012 ASSOCIATE WINEMAKER ALISON CRARY WALKS THE WALK  Wherever she travels around the world, Alison Crary, our associate winemaker, makes time to walk the vineyards, talk to local winemakers about favored techniques, and observe how the environment affects the character of their wines. Before coming to Napa Valley, Alison studied enology at the famous Geisenheim school in Germany's Rheingau Valley and did winemaking stints in California, Italy and Germany. She's visited more than 32 wine regions around the globe, which pretty much makes her an inveterate student of terroir. She brings that same passion to the winery in Calistoga, where she aims to coax delicious world-class red wines from our Napa Valley sites, from the hills to the valley floor.
