Ashley DuBois

Born and raised on the San Francisco Peninsula, Ashley's passion for science along with her desire to utilize her creative talents initially led her to the wine industry. She attended the University of California at Davis to receive her degree in Viticulture and Enology and minor in Management. During her time there, she fulfilled three harvest internships at Pine Ridge Winery, Testarossa Vineyards, and Michaud Vineyard.

Ashley became a member of the Black Ridge team following her graduation. Not only is she the business manager and point person for the winery, she is also producing small lots of wine on the side.

"I truly believe this is one of the most underrated appellations in California. I was determined to return to the Santa Cruz Mountains to be a part of its bright future. The potential of our young vineyard is promising and I look forward to watching the wine evolve as the vineyard matures."

In her free time, Ashley is an avid volleyball player, food fanatic, Sports Center fan and animal lover. She spends most of her time with family and friends, and as much time outdoors as possible.
