SanTasti History - made for professional taste buds

Wine Tasting and Judging with SanTasti palate cleanser

Our History -it's a fun story!

Nicole Chamberlain and Andrew Macaluso founded SanTásti Inc. in 2008. The two met each other at Cal Poly during their freshman year in chemistry class. During this time Nicole was studying for a degree in Biology and Andrew for a degree in Chemistry. After two years of working in the labs at Cal Poly the two decided that a life in the lab was not for them. It was then that they found a new opportunity in the budding Wine and Viticulture program at Cal Poly where they studied viticulture and enology under Keith Patterson and Bruce Zoecklein. There they were able to combine their love for science with their passion for art and creation. After two years of tasting wine without an effective and consistent method for cleansing their palates, the concept of a palate cleansing beverage was born.

Nicole Chamberlain -President

Nicole discovered her passion for wine at just the right time, on the eve of her 21st birthday. Prior to her life changing revelation Nicole was studying for a degree in Biology with plans of becoming a dentist like her father. She furthered her wine expertise with the hands on experience that only Cal Poly can offer (learn by doing!) during the 2007 harvest when she was the Cal Poly winemaker. She graduated with a B.S. in Wine and Viticulture , a concentration in Enology and a minor in Agribusiness from Cal Poly.

Andrew Macaluso -CEO

Andrew discovered his passion for wine before he could legally drink it. Before the world of wine Andrew was studying for his BS in Chemistry at Cal Poly with the goal of becoming a research chemist. After two years of chemistry and countless hours in the lab he decided that it was time for a change. He graduated with a B.S. in Wine and Viticulture, a concentration in Enology and a minor in Agribusiness from Cal Poly. His new goal is to combine science, art and emerging popular technologies to educate and entertain flavor enthusiasts with the mantra of more flavors from more foods.

Christina Sheldahl -CFO

Christina has been in the accounting industry for over 8 years. A licensed CPA, Christina has enjoyed serving a variety of clients in both audit and tax. As a mother of two boys, she has been able to follow her passions of family and work. She is committed to the success and challenges she may face in the business world. Christina can still remember the smells of her grandfather's wine cellar and him letting her try some at the age of four when she quickly learned that wine was not as pleasing as grape juice at such a young age. Thankfully her palate has come a long way since.
