Sales Rep Series | San Francisco: Gretchen Pen @ Vintage 59
Manage episode 273962688 series 2802470
Gretchen Pen is a Sales and Marketing Representative from Vintage ‘59 Imports, a company who looks for wines with depth of fruit, length and elegance, rather than for obtrusive oak, over-extraction, or excessive alcohol. They focus on the rich relationships that spring from the community of growers, instead of just the commercial imperative and look for people who share sensibilities, and that makes them as important as the wine they produce. Their rule is simple: work with people who make you proud and whose wine you drink at home.
Gretchen attended the University of San Diego on swimming scholarships and has earned degrees in Political Science and Environmental Studies. She got into sales at the Ferry Plaza Wine Merchant in San Francisco where she was introduced to the V59 book. She interned under winemark Ed Kurtzman at the August West Winery and started at Vintage ‘59 in 2013.
