Wine Production

I’m Tay.

I grew up in San Francisco and Hawaii (firmly on team El Farolito and team Spam), with a fair amount of time spent in Southeast Asia, and now I’m based in sometimes sunny Montreal (bagels are also better then NYC).

My work background’s also a bit varied. I spent five years making wine in Napa before deep diving into startups and tech. Bootstrapped our last company and successfully exited in late 2022. That journey led me to help co-found Palisade, an email security solution built to help navigate the recent uptick in cyber security threats.

Outside of work, I like experimenting in the kitchen and crushing good food.

Feel free to reach out if you want a copy of the recipe doc my brother and I slapped together.

“If I'm an advocate for anything, it's to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. The extent to which you can walk in someone else's shoes or at least eat their food, it's a plus for everybody.” - Anthony Bourdain
