I've been working in the beer and wine industry since I was 19 years old (now 40). I started out as a warehouse/stockroom worker, was promoted to a sales representative and became a wine & beer department manager at a locally owned supermarket chain. I helped establish Wilibees Wine & Spirits in Petaluma and Healdsburg Taproom in Healdsburg . I've judged for various wine & beer competitions, organized some of the most reputable beer festivals locally and worldwide, did beer blogging for the Press Democrat for about two years and co-founded the NorCal Beer Geeks – a like-minded group of craft beer loving enthusiasts that share information regarding new release beer, limited production beer and about upcoming events and festivals.
This is the start of a dream come true- thanks to all my friends and family who have supported me and encouraged me to undertake this project. I want this location to be where my passion, love and knowledge of beer and wine connect – hence the name Juncture. I strive to make everyone that walks into my business happy and appreciated. I will not take your patronage for granted. I am hands-on and will be on the premises virtually every day.

Arguably the greatest taproom team around. This is an intelligent group of people with a passion for making our guests feel welcomed and well tended to. They are smart, friendly, courteous and eager to share the knowledge they have for our delicious craft beer and simple, but tasty food menu.
