I’ve had the pleasure of being a personal wine concierge at Castello di Amorosa, helping my guests find exceptional wines while offering them the best possible pricing on our wines and truly personalized customer service. Having grown up in the Napa Valley and surrounding counties my whole life, I truly love this place and feel so fortunate to share its wines, beauty, and experiences with others.

Whether you’re looking for an everyday favorite to gather around or an exceptional wine to archive for a milestone celebration, I'm here to curate that experience for you.

Marie Miessler
When I'm not on the phone with my favorite customers, or hunting down the last lost bottle of a sold-out wine, you can find me working in my tree nursery, or sitting on a rocky Northern California beach soaking up some vitamin sea and sunshine.
