The Author

Aaron Menenberg is a vitiholic. He works in public and government affairs and study energy, and has attempted to make wine a few times; it’s not very glamorous, you really do spend 90% of your time cleaning things. He started Good Vitis in late 2016 to advance his wine education. Aaron is married to a badass woman with whom he have two incredible Basenji dogs.

The Designer

Emily Seifert is a multidisciplinary designer and art director, living and working in Brooklyn, New York. With a background in creative production and visual communication, she works as a freelance artist specializing in 2D & 3D design and motion graphics. 

The Photographer

Amber Rose Lee is the daughter of two winemakers, Dianna Novy and Adam Lee. She grew up in and around vineyards and wineries and even had a picking bin as a playpen. Her interest in photography started at a young age when she saw a book her grandfather had put together of pictures of his work as marine biologist. Today she takes photos of various wine events and vineyards for her parents’ wineries and also for various wine clients. In her spare time she loves kids and dogs, not necessarily in that order.
