ERICKA BRAVO, WINE DIRECTOR
Wine started out as an interest, turned into a passion and is now knowledge put to use daily. Ericka has explored wineries throughout the state both on personal travels and through wine camps: small groups of industry professionals, taking a deep dive into a particular region together. Ericka has pruned grapes in the Santa Lucia Highlands, blended her own wine in Paso Robles, found fossilized oyster shells in Central Coast soil and fallen in love with the people of the Willamette Valley. It’s the stories behind each bottle that absolutely intrigue her. She has a fondness for family-owned wineries, and Top of the Market’s 100+ bottle list reflects that. In her words “Wine is part art, part science, lots of passion. If you think you don’t like wine you just haven’t found the right one for you. There is nothing better than having a guest fall in love with a bottle of something that wasn’t on their radar.”
