About RARECAT Wines

Founder/Proprietor: Sharon Kazan Harris’ love of wine started when she spent her junior year of college abroad, at the Université de Bordeaux. After graduating from college, Sharon returned to Bordeaux and lived with the most famous cheese mongers in France, while she worked at The St. James, a Michelin two-star restaurant, under Chef and owner Jean-Marie Amat. That led he to her first wine experience at Haut Brion and the moment that changed her life and sealed her interest in wine and the Bordeaux region itself. Some years later, after a career in publishing and technology, with a young family in tow, Sharon applied and was accepted to the prestigious DUAD program (the Diplome Universitaire d’Aptitude a la Degustation des Vins) offered through the Université de Bordeaux’s Oenology department.

The DUAD is an intensive year-long program that takes four years of oenology and condenses it into one compacted year: it is a technical oenology degree program taught in French. Several years later, Sharon returned to the States and moved to Napa Valley. Today, Sharon is one of only two women working as vintners in the Napa Valley who hold the DUADdegree.

Sharon keeps her links to Bordeaux very present, maintaining a second home in Bordeaux today.
 
As she works on the RARECAT wines, her passion extends to empowering business professionals through wine and supporting women in industry. Sharon’s personal experiences have shown how businesses benefit from diversity and how wine can empower diversity.  “I am lucky; I am living my passion - wine puts me in contact with amazing people and brings me endless laughter,” Sharon says.
