Santa Maria, CA – The Thornhill Companies is pleased to announce the appointment of Nicholas Miller as Board Member of the Santa Barbara Vintners Association.
The Santa Barbara Vintners Association is a non-profit organization founded in 1983 to celebrate, share and protect Santa Barbara Wine Country. As advocates in support of promoting Santa Barbara as a globally recognized wine region, the Santa Barbara Vintners Association produces wine events and educational opportunities directed at consumers, trade and media.
Miller is Vice President of Sales and Marketing for his family’s multi-generational, industry-leading company, The Thornhill Companies. As Board Member of the Santa Barbara Vintners Association, Miller will serve a two-year term, followed by a consecutive two-year term if voted in.
“It’s an honor to join the Santa Barbara Vintners Association as Board Member,” says Miller. “There’s no doubt in my mind that Santa Barbara County is one of the world’s best places to grow grapes, which is proven by the vast number of distinctive wines produced here – wines that continually show the strength and quality of the Central Coast.”
“As part of a family with agricultural roots on the Central Coast that trace back to 19th century, one could say that an appreciation for this land is in my blood,” adds Miller, “But it’s the level of dedication, skill and authenticity of those in my industry that further strengthen my ties to the area, and I look forward to supporting the Association’s mission of promoting Santa Barbara Wine Country as a world-class wine region.”
