Fern is ROOOOOTED in the East Bay (Oakland, Berkeley), originally working in Tech and as an intern for NASA. Fern has always had a passion for community and provides some unique perspective on the connections between the tech and wine industry. Her father was a tour guide for the Gray Line Tour Buses in the Napa Valley, so she grew up with a shotgun seat to how wine can be a beautiful accessory to making memories and connecting.
