Agent Vine

Wine Buyer

“The covert connoisseur of fine wines and finer secrets.”

Raised in wine country in San Luis Obispo, Agent Vine, has been in the wine industry longer than she could legally drink but there’s no need to get specific with numbers. She has worked in just about every part of the industry at one time or another including sales rep, cellar rat, logistics coordinator and tour guide. She could not imagine a better industry to work in and continues to better herself with education including recently achieving her WSET level 3.

Her life is filled with laughter and joy brought on by her two amazing kids, a loving husband and a group of amazing friends. Her professional passion has also brought her to entrepreneurship as she runs an Artbar and pottery studio in Moscow, Idaho where she lives.

Wine has tangled its way into most parts of her life and she loves helping people find their new favorite beverage. She believes there is a wine for everyone and matching the person and the wine is simply about getting to know both the people and the wine better. It is a challenge Agent Vine is more than up to!

Marimar Estate
2021 Estate Tempranillo

Marimar is back with Tempranillo this time! WOOHOO!

Marimar Estate 2021 Estate Tempranillo 750ml Wine Bottle
Tempranillo is one of my fav varietals. It is bright and fruity when young and ages with some of the best as the years go by. This is a domestic Tempranillo with all the soul of Spain Royalty. The wine is sexy with dark fruit, nice tannins and super fun tabacco leaf. Another women winemaking powerhouse team with Marimar and her daughter, Cristina. — Agent Vine

This is the highest-rated dry California Muscat by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate as well as other publications.

La Sirena 2022 'Moscato Azul' Dry Muscat Canelli 750ml Wine Bottle
Heidi Barrett.... I mean, if you don't know the name, you should. She's an inspiration. An amazing winemaker, community member, artist, mother, overall human. And this wine is soooooooo good. Bright, pretty and perfect for most occasions in my life. — Agent Vine

Some wines shout out their instant appeal, while others go quieter, whispering… “I’m a cult wine.” A la Lot C-91.

Heitz Cellar 2018 'Lot C-91' Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml Wine Bottle
I do say Cabernet Sauvignon is not typically my thing. BUT THIS! Absolutely gorgeous. Oh my. I mean juicy and interesting. Not over ripe, just perfect. — Agent Vine

One more off the bucket list today, Ops! We adore our “firsts here.” the very first ROCHIOLI on a label for us.

Gary Farrell 2019 Rochioli Vineyard RRV Chardonnay 750ml Wine Bottle
I typically do not tend to love Califronia Chadonnay. I like restraint, elegance, fruit preservation and minerality. This beauty from Gary Farrell has all those things and more. ALSO a first for Wine Spies- ROCHIOLI. This one defies gravity for me and I'm all about it. — Agent Vine

Like Pinot, Zin, or Strawberry Agua Frescas? Other similarly juicy, fruit-packed reds? This will be your new jam.

Optik 2022 French Camp Vineyard Highland District Valdiguié 750ml Wine Bottle
I love a good nerdy varietal. I can only get so excited about another Napa Cab. This is a super fun, easy drinking, yummy red. Layered and fruity with well structured mellow tannins and a gorgeous layer of herbal tones. — Agent Vine
Bouchard Aîné & Fils
2020 Savigny-Lès-Beaune Blanc

All that white Burgundy pizzazz for a mere $36?! Case me up for the summer stash of whites to pop without guilt.

Bouchard Aîné & Fils 2020 Savigny-Lès-Beaune Blanc 750ml Wine Bottle
Savigny-Lès-Beaune Blanc.... I LOVE Burgundy. I usually can't afford it. Especially the stuff I really love. This little gem over delivers in every way. Even at the retail price! Pretty acid, great layered fruit. yum yum yum. — Agent Vine
