AnneMarie Kelly ~  I am new to the Stryker Sonoma family this summer and could not be more excited! I am a Bay Area native, born and raised on the peninsula. I am entering into my senior year as a Business Administration student with an emphasis in Wine Business Strategies at Sonoma State University. I could not be any luckier to attend a school in the heart of the wine country.  After I graduate next May I hope to move to San Francisco and continue expanding my wine knowledge through opportunities I find there. The wine industry is a very interesting and always evolving field that could take me anywhere. Just happy to get the chance to be part of the Stryker Sonoma team and learn as much as I can about the wine industry from those who know it best!

Chris RobitailleOriginally from Amador County in the Sierra Foothills, recently graduated from Sonoma State University with concentrations in Wine-Business Strategies and Marketing. Spent time abroad in Chile to gain a stronger understanding of the global wine industry and marketplace for wine.  Attending the Santa Rosa J.C. for the study of Viticulture and Enology to expand my knowledge of Sonoma County terroirs including vineyard development and management, clonal selection, and chemical analysis of wine. My goal is to achieve a greater understanding of grape vines and production of premiere wine in such a fashion as to allow me to become a cellar master or vineyard manager. I enjoy wine for its innate ability to bring people together, for it is impossible to have an insipid time with an open bottle of your favorite varietal.

Lucy Lanza ~ I am currently attending Sonoma State and I will be graduating in December 2011. I am a Business Administration major with a concentration in Wine Business Strategies. My goal right now is to learn as much as I possibly can about the wine industry. Even though my knowledge of wines right now is fairly minimal; I am extremely passionate about all the work that goes into creating a bottle of wine. All I know right now is, that I plan to move to Texas within the next year and bring a little bit of California wine knowledge and passion to the lone star state!
