Cindy grew up on Long Island, New York. She started out as a costume designer, moved to international garment production, and then applied psychophysiology. She has 2 PhDs - one in applied psychophysiology and the other in mind-body medicine. She is a university professor and has supervised and mentored students throughout the world. Now she’s a part-time farmer while she continues to teach psychophysiology to doctoral-level students until retirement in a few years (she’s been saying this for more than a few years. . . ).

Cindy loves Meritages and so when she had to decide what grapes to plant, while it didn’t feel that creative, it was easy. Three of the 5 Bordeau blends Cab, Cab Franc, and Merlot.
