Trina’s Bio

My passion for wine started back in 2004 when I started working at Alexandria Nicole Cellars here in Prosser. This opportunity opened my eyes into the industry of food/wine and I haven’t looked backed ever since. With the opportunity to taste and select wines for Picazo 7Seventeen’s awarding wining Northwest Wine List, I taste a large number of truly great wines from all over Washington many who source fruit from here in the Yakima Valley and a lot of them made right here in Prosser.  I work quite a bit with Chef Frank Magaña pairing wines with our nightly specials, menu entrees, tapas and winemaker dinners to help showcase the  partnership of talented wine-making and the Spanish flair of Picazo.

Being  born and raised here in the Yakima Valley  I believe Washington produces the finest wine in the world and feel very privileged to be a part of it, even in a small way!
