Kari Auringer, winemaker, describes herself as a hands-on winemaker and gladly immerses herself in all aspects of the winemaking process from vineyard to bottle. If you don’t find her tasting barrel samples in the winery, she is probably out kicking the dirt in a vineyard. Kari notes, “I am thrilled to be part of the team at Cornerstone Cellars. We are committed to producing great wines from great vineyards, and making the kind of wines that we want to drink.” At Cornerstone Cellars, we make wines to please people, not focus groups. Thinking about how real people experience and enjoy our wines is the job of our winemaker, Kari Auringer. Over the years, Kari has built a reputation in and around California’s wine districts as a truly accomplished winemaker. Her creativity and craftsmanship are what makes our wines unique.
