Community Partner: Simonne Mitchelson

Stepping into the role of Community Partner for Field Blends: Michigan is a homecoming for Simonne. After gaining over a decade of experience in wine regions around the world, Simonne is excited to bring greater visibility to her home state's best-kept appellations.  She believes Michigan wine’s approachability will entice the next generation of wine drinkers while championing diversity beyond vinifera. Simonne’s work centers the experience of fellow 1st generation kids, ensuring that barriers do not mar entry into the wine biz for future generations.
