Monica Silva
From Digital Media to Winemaking
Ms. Silva is a great talent with an entrepreneurial spirit. Since 2001, she has led a fun and successful career architecting intuitive and interactive experiences in Digital Media Design & Entertainment for large corporations as well as start-ups. Simultaneously, her love for wine and pairing food with wine was such a joy, prompting her curiosity for wine to grow intensely with every year. This passion inevitably evolved into another rewarding and enjoyable career.
Momorable Moments
“Growing up in a Latin home — aside from the everyday presence of music, dancing and, love expressed through food — I learned that quality wine came hand-in-hand with the enjoyment of meals, and with even greater appreciation during celebrations, and big family gatherings. These beautiful moments became lasting memories that I am seldom taken back to when enjoying wine. Therefore to me, wine is synonymous with great times, sophistication and style. A pleasure I now immerse in as I relish every drop of wine with the utmost admiration while continuing to create even more beautiful moments."

Immersed in the World of Wine

Winemaking at Home
Guided by her neighbor — long-time winemaker Franchesco Salubro from Calabria, Italy — Ms. Silva's involvement with wine started with enjoyable winemaking at her country home in Hudson Valley, New York. The magic was set in motion as she experimented with different varietals until hitting the perfect notes to her taste, producing rich Cabernet Blends and refreshingly crisp Sauvignon Blancs. Even the mere experience of watching a cloudy, sweet liquid turn into a clear, alcoholic one — accompanied by the hiccupping of an airlock — was such an exceptionally pleasing experience to her. Subsequently, a revolutionary new career soon followed.
