Stephanie Cuadra, Founder and Principal of Terrestoria Wine Imports was supposed to become a diplomat. At least, that was the plan when she studied political journalism at Georgetown University and imagined herself working for the State Department. She spent her early years in Washington, covering politics and international affairs. Life, however, had other plans.
She and her husband decided to move to Italy with their children. It wasn’t a small decision. They left behind their American routines for a place where centuries-old vineyards and slow conversations over long meals still shape daily life. What she didn’t expect was that this move would lead her into the world of wine.
