Our Team

 

ROSEMARY CAKEBREAD | WINEMAKER & PROPRIETOR

Rosemary has earned her reputation for excellence quietly. She is known for making distinct wines notable for restraint and elegance. A graduate of University of California Davis’ Viticulture and Enology program, she was introduced to Cabernet Sauvignon at the historic Inglenook Vineyards. From early cellar jobs to a winemaking position with Spottswoode Vineyard and Winery, Rosemary has built her career around a love for wine. Her appreciation and interest in aromatics and blending was born from work with sparkling wine at Mumm Napa Valley. Of course, making wine also means logging hours and miles in the vineyard throughout the growing season. Rosemary can often be found where she most enjoys being- outdoors in the home vineyard or amongst the vines on the properties we are fortunate to collaborate with.

FRANCES STOCKTON | DIRECTOR OF SALES & MARKETING

Frances returned to Saint Helena after almost a decade of New York city life and adventure. A career in New York hospitality provided the perfect segue to wine. She is thrilled to share the Gallica story with you and continually learn from wine. When not at work, Frances can be found on the back of a horse.

KATY KEENAN | ADMINISTRATIVE

Napa native Katy has been in hospitality for fifteen years and the wine industry for eight. Childhood summers in Lake Tahoe led to a Sierra chapter after high school. Despite her love for the mountains she moved back to Napa and started to fall in love with wine. In her free time she’s cheering for her son at little league games, strapping his helmet on at dirt bike tracks, or finding new hiking trails with her golden retriever puppy.

NATE KANE | ESTATE VINEYARD MANAGER

Nate organically farms our estate vineyard of heritage Petite Sirah and Cabernet Sauvignon. An essential part of our team that our vines are very grateful for.
