TC Goble

TC had been with Shenandoah Vineyards for over 20 years when she retired. Following a dart on the map, TC, a native of Los Angeles, moved to the beautiful Shenandoah Valley in 2001. Days after her arrival, she visited Shenandoah Vineyards and was invited to work by Emma Randel, who had planted the vineyards back in 1976. Enamored with the "great pastoral" landscape, and seduced by the wine, she continued to nurture her passion for Virginia wines and the people that visited our tasting room until 2022.

When not celebrating the melodious flow of days with her friends, TC spends time with her four grandchildren.
