Local 25 Year Old Lydia Stafford Building an Impressive Wine Industry Resume. ~By John Hamilton
Murphys, CA....We had the pleasure of interviewing Lydia Stafford this morning. She just returned home from working at Whitehaven Vineyards down under in New Zealand. Since it has been winter there she may have bee just coming home to get some warm weather as well. Prior to that she worked in Sonoma for B. R. Cohn Winery and she started her resume building at Renner Winery here locally. She has consistantly been moving up the winery size scale from under 2,000 cases a year at Renner, 100k Plus at B.R. Cohn to 350k plus at Whitehaven. Not bad for a young lady that stated her carreer path at the Calaveras County Visitors Bureau. The 2005 Bret Harte graduate has been on the production and marketing sides of the industry and would like to focus on the marketing side and just narrowly missed out possibly because of age on one of the premier marketing spots in the industry....
She is home to visit and possibly to stay for a bit. She has a job waiting for her in New Zealand but I am guessing her family might like her to take her next career step at least in the Northern Hemisphere.
It's great to see that a young local product can take her hometown experience and leverage it up the ladder in her industry of choice.
So thanks for the interview and Happy 25th Lydia Stafford
