About Cedar Stoltenow
Cedar originally moved from Fargo to France in 2006 to spend a year learning French, and finally left in 2012 to pursue her education and career in Artificial Intelligence. However, after several years in the field, she decided to abandon the robots for the even more complex study of wine. Cedar spent a harvest in New Zealand, interned with Knightsbridge Winery in Napa Valley, and passed her WSET 3 in 2018. In 2019, she started Un Pot de Vin, offering sommelier and wine consultant services in Chicago, and writing for wine publications around the world. Cedar joined Château de Pommard full-time in January 2020, and today she is based in Chicago, traveling frequently to France and working on her WSET Diploma. She appreciates the chance to read, write, talk, and drink wine with people from around the world.
About Château de Pommard:
Founded in 1726 by Vivant Micault, secretary to King Louis XV, Château de Pommard remains one of the most iconic and visited wine estates in Burgundy. Clos Marey-Monge, at the heart of the domain, has been producing one of the greatest expressions of Pinot Noir for more than two millennia. The 20-hectare clay and limestone rich terroir make it the largest and most interesting monopole vineyards in the Côte d’Or. In July 2015, UNESCO declared the Clos a world heritage protected climat of Burgundy.
The Carabello-Baum family of San Francisco purchased the domain in 2014 and became just the fifth family to guide the estate in almost 300 years. The family has transformed the estate into the ultimate wine education destination where
anyone can experience the phenomenon that is Burgundy.
