Desiree O'Donovan
Winemaker, Krupp Brothers
Raised in the California Wine Country, Desiree O’Donovan was studying for a career in dentistry when a part-time job at a local winery opened her eyes to her true passion.
After completing internships at several notable local wineries, she began her career at a Napa custom crush facility, where she became the Assistant Winemaker. There she had the opportunity to learn different winemaking styles and work with many boutique wineries, including Krupp Brothers. Impressed by her talent and dedication, Desiree was one of Dr. Krupp's first hires when Krupp Brothers had the opportunity to move to its own winery facility.
Country born: United States
Education: I'm a Cellar Born Winemaker with a background in Natural Science. I learned everything I know about winemaking from observing the best winemakers from Napa Valley in action at custom crush facilities. Dr. Jan Krupp has mentored me in all things vineyard related.
Years in the wine industry: 15-20 years
Winemaking Philosophy:
To make the best wines you have to have your boots on the ground and your hands on the wine.
