Born and raised in France, Catherine moved to the Bay Area with her husband to work in the tech industry. A longtime wine lover and wine collector, Catherine happily joined Blue Danube Wine Co., an importer of wines from Eastern and Central Europe and has been instrumental in building and supporting the company's Ecommerce, technology, project management and marketing. Starting Danch and Granger Selections as an offspring of Blue Danube Wine Co.  is an exciting next step in her life. When she's not in front of her computer, she loves traveling to Eastern and Central Europe and visiting her producers as well as meeting her customers and distributors.

Social Justice and Environmental Restoration Statement
1. We offer fair wages and full benefits to our employees. 
2. We deeply care about climate change and sustainability. Our producers are family owned that depend on the health of their land. Some are rebuilding old vineyards, others are reintroducing almost extinct grape varieties. Most are struggling to handle months of drought or too much rain.
We're also proud to work with female winemakers that are active in their communities and mentoring the next generation to prevent young people from leaving the villages.
3. Locally, I have been supporting a Non Profit that plants trees in underserved communities in the Bay Area as well as Planned Parenthood in San Jose to protect andexpand health care to Bay Area communities.
