Tiquette Bramlett is not content with the title of “first Black woman hired to head an American winery.” The new president of Vidon Vineyard in Newberg just issued her first executive order: diversity.
After graduating from Chapman University in Orange, California, Bramlett spent several years working as a touring vocalist, ghost writer and logistics coordinator for a major high school basketball tournament. Believe it or not, this is not an unusual path to becoming interested in wine as a vocation.
