Sofia Rivier, winemaker and vineyard supervisor, Ettore Winery & Terra Savia Winery, Hopland, CA Annual case production:  5,000 cases Planted acres:  35 acres Career background:  I was born and raised in Mendoza, Argentina into a family whose life revolved around winemaking. My family’s vineyard and winery (www.jeanrivier.com) was established by my grandparents who immigrated from Switzerland and, still to this day, produce wines. Growing up, viticulture was a way of life for me, it allowed me to experience, enjoy and learn from the natural richness of Mendoza.
