Ashley Leonard: Oral History Interview

The Oregon Wine History Archive Podcast

This interview is with Ashley Leonard of InnoVint. In this interview, Ashley speaks about going to UC Davis and learning the technical side of winemaking before working in a number of California wineries in production and management roles. She then discusses her pivot into technology and her growing desire to build technology to help wineries.

From there she talks about the creation and growth of InnoVint, which she launched to help winemakers chart their wine through the production process and wineries to monitor inventory and determine costs. She also talks about her move to Oregon, which allowed her to start working with wineries in the Northwest.
