Karen Steinwachs

SBVF Vice-President

Let’s just say she’s a drop-out, drop-in. A drop-out from the high-tech world led to a drop-in to winemaking here in Santa Barbara in 2001. Since, she has dropped out of larger local wineries to craft her micro brand, Seagrape, just 500 cases per year. With more time available now, she has also dropped in to local philanthropy and community service via the Women Winemakers & Culinarians Foundation, Sta. Rita Hills Winegrowers Alliance and work on Santa Barbara County’s HLAC in addition to the Vintners Foundation.
