Tansy Wines was founded by Shelley Lindgren, a James Beard winner and owner of the popular Italian Bay Area A16 restaurants, and Kitty Oestlien, a technology marketing executive, formerly of Dropbox and Symantec. The duo met in 2020 when they were collaborating on innovative ways to keep restaurants operating amid the disruption brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. It was during this time that they discovered shared passions in Italian wines, the Northern California countryside, and lifting up women in industry. And it is from these origins that Tansy Wines was born. All women team behind this tiny brand is complimented by an experienced winemaker Megan Glaab. Her love and enthusiasm for wine led her to the University of Adelaide in Australia, where she obtained a B.S. in Enology. After graduating, Megan continued her winemaking education by working at several wineries, including Torbreck, Peay Vineyards, Marcassin, and Pisoni. She is now the winemaker and co-owner of Ryme Cellars, along with her husband Ryan Glaab.
