With tenacity and determination, Cathy Corison has forged a life of wine that has spanned three decades. She discovered her passion for wine while pursuing a bachelor's degree in biology at Pomona College in Claremont, California and went on to complete a master’s degree in Enology from the University of California, Davis in the mid-1970s. She gained extensive experience from her work at Chappellet Vineyard, Staglin Family Vineyard, York Creek Vineyards, and Long Meadow Ranch, where she was constantly honing her skills. These experiences left her eager to express her own winemaking voice. In recognition of her excellence as a winemaker, Cathy was named the 2011 Winemaker of the Year by the San Francisco Chronicle, and in 2022, Corison Winery was named one of the “Top 100 Wineries” in the world by Wine and Spirits Magazine. Cathy is guided by her belief that winemaking and wine appreciation are timeless, creative celebrations of life.
