RNV 100: Banshee Wines | Alicia Sylvester, Winemaker
On this episode, Michelle and Coco talk with Alicia Sylvester, winemaker for Banshee Wines. Alicia shares her agricultural roots (pun intended) and how they led her to appreciate the work done by farmers across the country. After working on harvests around the globe, Alicia returned to California to work at Chateau Montelena and Sonoma Cutrer. In 2021 she took on the role of Winemaker at Banshee Wines, producing wines that taste much more sophisticated than their price point would suggest. At Banshee, Alicia can indulge in both sides of her winemaking personality: Bordeaux style, in your face, big cabs and the more nuanced Burgundian pinot noirs and chardonnays. Alicia is also hilarious, loves to attend concerts, and will occasionally indulge in some 90s country (hellz yeah Garth Brooks!) Check out Banshee Wines and their tasting room record player just steps off the Healdsburg Plaza.
