Tanya Kinberg, Owner
As owner of Wine Street for over seven
years, Tanya has overseen the growth of the shop to a 4,000 square
foot facility offering wines from around the world. After
earning her PhD in Clinical Psychology, she caught the wine bug.
With her parents Art and Trece Kinberg, she acquired Wine Street in
1999.
These days, when she's not in the shop, she can be
found numerous times a year kicking the dirt around Napa and Sonoma,
solidifying relationships with up-and-coming producers and arranging
first calls on projects from some of the biggest names in
California....and the hotshots who will be really big names in the
coming years.
Tanya's A-List
is your way to get first
priority on the best, handcrafted, call them "serious"
wines from Napa. Trust us when we say Tanya has her finger on
the pulse for what is happening in Napa.
Tanya likes to "share the
love" and when we only have one or two cases of something
really special, you want her to think of you! If you are not
already on my A - List and wish to be, email me at the link just
below with your request.

Toby Oshiro, Wine Buyer
After spending five years working in
academia, Toby realized his interest in wine had begun to outweigh
his desire to teach English. He made the leap into the wine business
and has never looked back. He is most interested in balanced,
food-friendly wines that express a sense of place, which usually
leads to the Old World, though a growing number of boutique domestic
producers also fit the bill. An avid cook and foodie, Toby enjoys
classic food and wine pairings as well as more adventurous ones (Machaca
burrito and Alsatian Riesling—unlikely yet delicious!).
Toby is recognized as a Certified
Specialist of Wine by the Society of Wine Educators and is currently
studying to become a Certified Wine Educator. He has an MFA in
Writing from Otis College of Art & Design, and in his spare time is
at work on a novel.
