Meet the Founders
Sean Patterson
Founder
Sean Patterson’s love affair with wine began amidst the picturesque vineyards of Sonoma Valley. His roots run deep, grounded in a community where winemaking was more than a craft—it was a way of life. He watched, learned, and grew in an environment where his family was deeply involved in Sonoma’s flourishing hospitality scene.
Venturing into the tech world, Sean found success but never forgot his roots. Now settled in the East Bay with his cherished wife and two vibrant young sons, Sean is drawn back to Sonoma’s allure. For him, family is the compass that guides his life. Every sunset over the vineyards, every glass raised in celebration, echoes with memories of a community where trust was built over handshakes and promises were sealed with a shared bottle.
Allison Harper
Founder
The Harper legacy in Napa Valley is well-known and respected. As a child, Allison was cradled by the golden hues of vineyards and the comforting aromas of family-run eateries. Post-college, she dove into the tech realm, carrying the spirit of Napa with her at every step.
Currently residing in Novato with her loving family, Allison’s heart still beats in rhythm with Napa’s pulse. Her dreams often take her back to the valley, a place she plans to call home once more. Both her immediate family and the cherished memories of her ancestors shape her vision. Through “Wine Country Corner,” Allison seeks to create a space where past traditions and modern experiences merge, offering a unique and authentic journey through wine country.
