Natalie was hired as Penner-Ash’s first employee as the demands of the business grew beyond friends and family. Taking on the role of Direct Sales and Hospitality, Natalie brings with her 20 years of experience and expertise in food and wine.

With a business degree from Memphis State, a level I Master Sommelier certificate and experience in management at celebrated establishments such as Mirbeau Inn and Spa (New York), Martini House (St. Helena), Mustard’s Grill (Napa Valley) and Ojai Valley Inn, Natalie brings an elevated level of professionalism and expertise to Penner-Ash. Her passion for food, wine and hospitality is a testament to her commitment in providing others with joyful, unpretentious experiences centered around all things culinary.

Natalie collects cookbooks and loves sourcing exotic ingredients to complete challenging recipes. She also enjoys hiking and camping with her two boys ... husband Kurt and canine Jackson. Natalie’s harvest meals are renown throughout the Willamette Valley … it’s not uncommon for our peers and friends in the industry to “conveniently show up at just the right time” to join us for our daily crush meal during harvest.
