Susan Davidson currently works with the Tasting Room staff as a Server, guiding wine club members and guests alike through our latest releases. We caught up with Susan to find out more about her background and her role here at Doffo Winery. We hope you enjoy getting to know her, and next time you visit the winery be sure to say hello!
Where are you from?
I was born and raised in Anaheim, CA
What do you do in your free time?
My free time is spent with family, friends and FaceTiming my grandkids. I also enjoy taking out the motorcycles with my buddy Rick and discovering new adventures.
When did you first become interested in wine?
I have always had a passion for wine and the process of how wine is made. A unique combination of farming and science, and a lot of patience.
Describe what it’s like to work in wine.
Working in the wineries is a privilege to me. Not only do I I have the chance to learn from the masters of wine making but also share with customers, whether they are educated in wine or first time wine tasters.
What is it like to work with the Doffo family?
The Doffo family are like my family – full of energy, ready to give me all the information I need about the wine making process. We also share a similar passion for motorcycles. I love the crowd they roll with!
What is your favorite part of what you do at Doffo?
I have the opportunity to meet new and interesting people. I feel I grow every day and am able to share that with everyone that walks through the door. We all become like family!
What is your favorite Doffo wine?
2017 Malbec
What new wine releases are you most excited about?
I now have the opportunity to offer the reserve flight! These wines are amazing and will not be around for long.
What is your favorite meal / Doffo wine combo?
My favorite meal is a filet mignon pared with the 2017 Cab Reserve. Grill the steak and serve with Doffo Chimichurri of course!
If you didn’t work at Doffo, what do you think you would be doing instead?
I think I would be retired if I didn’t work at Doffo. Retired on the beach sipping wine!
Susan is so much fun and full of energy. I am so glad she is at Doffo, since this is my favorite winery. It is like family when you visit. I would go every day if I could.
