Show Notes
In this episode of "The Good Stuff" presented by the Sonoma County Winegrowers, hosts Virginie Boone and Karissa Kruse talk to Prema Kerollis, Co-founder & General Manager of Three Sticks Winery.
Prema shares how her journey with Three Sticks began in 2000, when she started working closely with Bill Price III at Texas Pacific Group. At the time, Three Sticks was Bill’s small, boutique passion project — a way to craft exceptional Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to share with friends and family. Drawn by her passion for hospitality and strong business sense, Prema quickly became a key part of the winery’s growth, helping expand its allocation list beyond the original circle to a growing community of devoted wine lovers.
As the years passed, Prema’s role deepened, evolving from supporting early development to managing the day-to-day operations, building vineyard relationships, and overseeing the expansion of Three Sticks’ offerings. Prema takes pride in Sonoma’s rich history and led the preservation and transformation of the historic Vallejo-Casteñada Adobe — an 1842-built landmark that now serves as Three Sticks’ welcoming tasting salon in downtown Sonoma. This seamless blend of history and hospitality perfectly reflects the winery’s ongoing commitment to legacy and quality.
Join Virginie and Karissa as they dive into Prema’s unique path in the wine industry, her longstanding partnership with Bill Price, and the story behind Three Sticks and its iconic Adobe tasting room. And finally, share their Tuesday Night wine picks!
