Pat grew up a California girl, never appreciating all of the good wines around her, and ended up in Asheville via Nashville. Somewhere along the way, a love of music and a developing interest in wine led her to the Mallett family and new friendships as well as an opportunity to learn more about wine by immersing herself in the subject, not literally, just figuratively. She is delighted to be a part of the group and spends time away playing that “old time” music, repairing violins and generally just having a good time with life.
