Although she long enjoyed wine, it wasn't until Meredith read a quote in 2006, "Pay attention to what you pay attention to," that she left behind careers in real estate development and accounting to pursue winemaking.  

She graduated with a Viticulture Certificate from Washington State University and jumped in at Sawtooth Winery to work its 2009 harvest. Within months, she was promoted to Assistant Winemaker and again in 2013, to Associate Winemaker. In 2010, Meredith took on concurrent work as a viticulture technician for both Skyline and Sawtooth Vineyard (Idaho's largest vineyards), eventually joining Ste. Chapelle in 2016. 

Meredith particularly enjoys crafting Chardonnay for its technical challenges and Rhône varietals, which she believes showcase the region's distinctive potential. Her winemaking philosophy combines technical precision with an artist's touch, honoring Ste. Chapelle's legacy while bringing fresh perspectives to Idaho's original winery. 

Beyond the cellar, Meredith embraces the outdoor lifestyle of the Gem State—skiing, mountain biking, trail running, and fly fishing—while also indulging in her love of cooking and music.
