2025 Guest Speaker - Pooja Gorthy from Calligraphy Wines

Having immigrated from India and lived in California for over fifteen years, Pooja's life is a blend of art, music and technology. When it came to choosing a name for her wine, instead of using a family name or region, Pooja wanted the name to reflect this deep connection between winemaking, art and symbolism. It led her to choose Calligraphy as the wine’s name. Calligraphy is Pooja's dream, where she hopes to nurture every element of farming and winemaking with love and sustainability.

Calligraphy Wines is a female owned-and-run Winery in Sonoma County. With an emphasis on limited quantities of high-quality artisanal wines, it produces an exclusive small-lot Pinot Noir from the acclaimed Bootlegger's Hill Vineyard in the Russian River Valley appellation. Calligraphy Winery plans to plant Gorthy-Challa Vineyards, their prepped twenty-four-acre estate in Sebastopol, where morning fog blankets the land every day, making it ideal for Pinot Noir.

In Pooja's own words: "Winemaking, like calligraphy, can be described as an artistic process of forming beautiful characters and arranging them by hand in a delicate way that results in integrity, harmony, ancestry, and rhythm. Wine connects us, and we hope that when you enjoy Calligraphy, you’ll feel connected to the nature, art, and people behind what’s in the bottle."

Your Support Matters

Soirée du Vin aims to maintain the status of Silicon Valley’s premier wine auction. To accomplish this, we look for community partners who not only appreciate gourmet food and fine wines, but also seek to support the mission of an educational institution like the Silicon Valley International School (INTL).

INTL's focus on inquiry and bilingualism empowers young minds to embrace complexity, think critically from multiple perspectives, and demonstrate integrity and sensitivity across cultures.

Soirée du Vin is a benefit for INTL's Charlotte de Géry Endowment Fund. By supporting Soirée du Vin, you are helping to ensure that INTL is able to continue its mission indefinitely. Raise a glass at Soirée du Vin, and support the students of the Silicon Valley International School.
