We are very excited to have Ana Lovaglio, daughter of Susana Balbo, here at the restaurant! Food and wine pairings to come. Below is a little info on Ana:
Ana grew up watching her mother, Susana Balbo, create magnificent wines and build a winery. From a young
age Ana knew that she would like to become a part of the family business.
She graduated from St. Andrews University in Buenos Aires with a degree in Business Administration. After
graduation, Ana stayed in Buenos Aires for several years working as a consultant for an important company.
Ana decided to go back to her roots, and officially joined the Susana Balbo WInes team as the manager of the
marketing department. Ana is also the creator and manager of Osadia de Crear, Dominio del Plata’s new
restaurant.
Ana views the Susana Balbo Wines team as a group that is full with passion, and capable of producing wines
of the highest quality. Her goal is that the wines of her mother will become timeless classics. Ana believes that
good wines should not just be saved for special occasions, and should be enjoyed whenever the mood strikes.
Her favorite varietal is Chardonnay.

Very excited to have Brian Fairleigh, brand ambassador, from Chandon! Cost of the dinner is $60. Food and wine pairing to come. Below is a little more information on Brian:
As Winery Brand & Wine Education Manager at Domaine Chandon, Brian Fairleigh relies on his deep interest in and knowledge of wine to communicate the Chandon brand with a wide range of audiences, from novices to master sommeliers. A graduate of the Global Wine Studies program at Central Washington University, Brian traveled around the world studying wine with extended stays in Champagne,
France; Mendoza, Argentina; and Santiago, Chile.
In 2010, he moved to Napa Valley and began his tenure with Domaine Chandon where he has served first as a Tasting Room Host, then as Brand Ambassador and Trade Visits Coordinator until
being promoted to Winery Brand & Wine Education Manager in 2017. In his current role, Brian’s thirst for knowledge and passion for education is easily noticed. In addition to creating and implementing all internal education programs at Chandon, he also brings Chandon to life in-market for trade and consumers alike. In order to keep abreast of every development at the winery,
he stays constantly engaged with the Winemaking, Winegrowing, and Production teams – from dosage and basewine selections to new product development and cutting edge sustainability and quality improvement programs. A long-time devotee and student of Champagne, Brian has an in depth understanding of the sparkling winemaking process as well as its sensory characteristics and food pairing versatility. His diverse experience at Domaine Chandon has allowed him a thorough understanding of not only the Chandon
brand and its history but also of its entire portfolio of wines.
Prior to diving into the world of sparkling wine, Brian followed his family’s military traditions and enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. After serving in combat support and administrative roles, he was honorably discharged in 2006. When he is not hard at work at the winery in Yountville or on the road sharing his passion for Chandon, Brian can be found riding motorcycles, backpacking through the Sierra Nevada or behind a camera capturing the stunning vistas he encounters in the vineyard and on the trail.
