I make wine make sense.
A winemaker. A marketer. A gatherer. Two decades growing brands, one decade growing grapes, and a lifelong belief that wine is best when it brings people together.
It started with a harvest.
My husband and I started making wine in 2015. What began as curiosity turned into something real, harvesting grapes in West Texas at Newsom Vineyards and producing our own label, Corcho Vino.
Our daughter grew up running through vineyard rows. We call her our "cellar rat." She even has her own cuvée, La Familia Estrella.
We don't sell our wine. We make it, open it, and give it away, because to us, wine has always been about gathering. That conviction is the heartbeat of everything Wine, Uncomplicated does.

Twenty years of building
brands.
One decade building wine.
Before Wine, Uncomplicated, I spent over two decades as a B2B marketing executive, scaling SaaS brands, leading growth strategy, and learning what it actually takes to move a market.
Then came the vines. A decade of hands-on winemaking gave me something no boardroom could: a visceral understanding of agriculture, patience, terroir, and the alchemy that happens between soil and glass.
That rare combination, brand strategist and winemaker, is what I bring to every engagement. Whether I'm helping a winery find its voice or teaching a first-time buyer what to look for on a label, both worlds show up.
Wine gets overcomplicated.
It can feel intimidating, like you need a certification before you're allowed to have an opinion. You don't. The best wine is simply the wine you like.
At the same time, wine is layered and fascinating: history, geography, migration, agriculture, culture. I love that depth. I've studied it, traveled for it, and built it with my own hands.
My job is to hold both truths at once, to honor the complexity while translating it into something that actually makes sense. No gatekeeping. No jargon for its own sake. Just wine, explained the way it deserves to be.

The part that doesn’t fit the resume
I live in Austin with my husband and our daughter, the one who grew up between vineyard rows before she could walk steadily in a straight line. We make wine together, we open it for the people we love, and we don't keep score of the bottles.
Wine travel is my continuing education. There's no substitute for standing in a vineyard in the Maipo Valley, or tasting pét-nat in a cave in the Loire; it changes how you talk about it when you get home.
I started Wine, Uncomplicated because I found myself explaining wine the same way to everyone: simply, honestly, and with genuine enthusiasm. Eventually, it seemed like something worth building around.
Let's work together.
Whether you're a winery, a wine lover, or planning a corporate event, I'd love to talk.
