About Us
Prior to establishing von Tress and
Associates Gloria accumulated over 18
years of experience in the wine industry.
She has held the position of Controller at
Iron Horse Vineyards, where her financial
and reporting responsibilities included
both the vineyard and winery operations.
Gloria has handled the complexities of
foreign partnerships, and all aspects of
winery accounting and tax reporting.
Prior to working for the Sterling family she
was employed by a limited partnership
focused on buying and developing
wineries for outside investors, each
acquisition involved multiple license
transfers and complex business
structures.
Gloria's favorite part of the wine business
is the agricultural cycles, which determine
the flow of business. "I love that the
seasonal excitement of winery life from
bud break to crush is always dependent
on mother nature. Later when the wine is
ready to market - we're still here to help
every step of the way"
Prior to establishing von Tress &
Associates Ana gained invaluable
experience at Laird Family Estate in
Napa where she was the Director of
Compliance. Ana managed the
reporting for 14 Alternating Proprietors
as well as dozens of custom crush
clients. She has contributed to the
corporate environment as well, and was
an integral part of the compliance team
for mergers of large wineries and filed
for new complex licenses in champagne
and beer operations. Ana holds a BS
Degree in Agricultural Business from
Cal Poly,San Luis Obispo .
Her favorite part of working in the wine
industry is helping new and existing
wineries navigate through the piles of
paperwork and reporting forms that
can be overwhelming and time
consuming. "The people I work with
are as colorful as the wine they make,
it's a lot of fun"
