Join us on August 18 at 1:00 pm via Zoom as part of the Case Western Reserve University Entrepreneurship Series for a Roundtable Discussion with Courtney Kingston, Founder, Kingston Family Vineyards. She will discuss her career journey from getting her MBA at Stanford University to founding a vineyard, family entrepreneurship, and how COVID-19 has impacted the winemaking business.

Kingston wrote the business plan to plant pinot noir on her family's farmland in the hills of Casablanca while in graduate school at Stanford. Today, Kingston Family Vineyards has been recognized as "among the best wineries in Chile" with their wines being featured on lists at top restaurants. Kingston manages the importing, sales, and marketing for the business.

This conversation will be facilitated by Case Western Reserve University student Jack Petito (CWR '22), who is pursuing a BS in Finance and Accounting.
