Kelli White

Teaches at Corkbuzz Restaurant & Wine Bar

Kelli began working in wine stores during college and from there, her interests in wine blossomed. After working harvest at Domaine Maillard in Chorey-les-Beaune in 2005 Kelli moved to NYC where she opened the market for ViniFrance (Olivier Daubresse Selections), before going to work for Domaine Select. She then transitioned to restaurants, working as a sommelier for the acclaimed Veritas. In 2010, she moved to Napa Valley to develop and run the wine program at PRESS (a restaurant widely acclaimed for its focus on historic Napa Valley vintages) where she developed a list of over 2,000 Napa Valley selections, dating back to the 1940s. Following two years at Vinous, where she worked with cartographer Alessandro Masnaghetti to map the appellations of Napa, she joined GuildSomm as Senior Staff Writer, the position she holds today. 

About her book | Napa Valley, Then & Now, is a 1255 page encyclopedia of Napa Valley's history and geography. It includes roughly 200 producer profiles and thousands of tasting notes stretching back more than eight decades. Napa Valley, Then & Now won both an IACP award for best new Beer, Wine, Spirits book and a Graphis design
