Change is in the air at Bonterra Organic Estates! Our Director of Organic and Biodynamic Winemaking, Jeff Cichocki, is retiring this week. He has spent the last 17 years with Bonterra, merging his passion for environmentalism with his talent for making exceptional wines. We can't thank Jeff enough for his many years of service. We'll miss his palate and his sense of humor. You can read more about him and his career here:  https://lnkd.in/gzqBNzAh Every ending is also a new beginning, and we are thrilled to announce the promotion of both Margaret Leonardi-Pruett and Sebastian Donoso to Senior Winemaker. Margaret will be transitioning from her role as Fetzer's winemaker and taking the helm of Bonterra's main line of wines, while Sebastian will produce Bonterra's Single Vineyard and Estate Collection wines. We're so excited to see this dynamic duo in action. You can read more about them here: https://lnkd.in/gcp7D5ah. Please join us in raising a glass to Jeff's remarkable career, and toasting to Margaret and Sebastian as they embark on this exciting new chapter. Cheers to the future! 🥂🍇

Cant wait to work with you all to convert the winery effluent into Compost Tea and allowing the well-treated effluent to augment irrigation demand. The aerobic bacteria is a great soil probiotic.

Congratulations, Jeff! Thanks for the tour last year. Your passion for the importance of the Regenerative Organic Alliance's certification was evident, and I learned a lot from the conversations you had with consumers around the country. Cheers!

Sebastian Donoso you’re killing it! Congrats on the promotion
