Marin Brennan promoted to winemaker at Bedell Cellars in Cutchogue

It’s early March, and the 75 acres of grapevines at Bedell Cellars in Cutchogue lie dormant.

While the vines take a winter respite, the cellar throbs with activity. On the bottling line, Marin Brennan watches as pastel pink Old Vines rosé fills slim bottles, a harbinger of summer fun ahead.

Brennan, who often dons a pair of neon pink rain boots that she finds "empowering," feels most at home in the cellar where she has trained alongside winemaker Rich Olsen-Harbich since 2011.
