Erin Green, Consulting Winemaker

Erin began her fascination with the science of winemaking and winegrowing as an undergraduate at UC Davis, where she pursued a degree in Fermentation Science with an emphasis on Enology. In the early 1990’s Erin was instrumental in launching Napa Wine Company, a custom crush facility where she was Director of Winemaking.

Throughout her career she worked for Bryant Family Wines and then for Pahlmeyer for over 12 years as Winemaker and Director of Winegrowing. The first vintage she worked on at Martinelli was 2009, and following Helen Turley’s retirement in 2010, became our Consulting Winemaker which is still her title today.

She works closely with our winemaking team to create elegant wines that are representative of the sites they grow. She as an encyclopedia for all things Martinelli vineyards, wine style and history. When not at the winery Erin loves to be at her property at the lake with friends or spending time with her two daughters.
