Eileen Crane 2010 Honorary Chair

An Interview With Eileen Crane…

On a blustery late January afternoon, we sat with Eileen Crane at Domaine Carneros, and discussed an array of topics ranging from her father’s love of wine and well-stocked wine cellar to how a summer spent at the Culinary Institute of America led her to “pack the Impala” and head west to California.  (Watch these videos and you’ll never be able to drink a glass of champagne without thinking of “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”!)

We are honored that Eileen Crane, Founding Winemaker & President of Napa’s legendary Domaine Carneros, is the 2010 Honorary Chairwoman for the National Women’s Wine Competition. Often referred to as America’s Doyenne of Sparkling Wine, Eileen Crane has spent more than 30 years in the industry. She is the most experienced Sparkling Winemaker in the United States.
