Sebastopol, CA – The team at Northern California’s acclaimed Spirit Works Distillery, named “2020 Distillery of the Year” by the American Distilling Institute (ADI), announces the promotion of Krystal Goulart to the helm of its award-winning distilling program.
Goulart arrived at Spirit Works in 2018 to apprentice with the all-female distilling team after more than a decade of work in the wine industry as a lead enologist and cellar master at such esteemed Sonoma wineries as Chateau St. Jean and Cruse Wine Co. With an astute palate, deep technical knowledge and a passion for fine craft beverages, Krystal was an immediate asset to the Spirit Works team, which is widely respected for its creativity, innovation and deep commitment to quality. Krystal has a degree in Enology and Viticulture from California State University, Fresno, and honed her skills abroad prior to her tenure with Sonoma County wineries, including in Australia’s Margaret River Valley and Portugal’s Douro Valley. While working with wine, Krystal had been observing with great interest the boom of the craft distilling industry around the U.S. and in her own Sonoma County backyard. That interest and readiness for a new adventure and challenge landed her at Spirit Works Distillery.
