	Julie Maas Assistant to the CFO HR "Go To" Girl Julie began her Toad Hollow journey in 1999. Back then she lived on the Toad Hollow property in a house that our late partner Rodney Strong owned. She was in the medical business--pediatrics for ten plus years and needed a break. Julie took up gardening, walks to the river and honing in on what was the small Toad Hollow family at that time. She made many trips to what was the office back then to "bring the mail" or some other lame excuse to have a glass of wine with Todd, Frankie and Erik. Todd loved to say that Julie could hear a cork pop across the vineyard and boom--magically she appeared. He must have gotten sick of her coming for the 4:30 wine time so that beloved man had no choice but to hire her! Shortly after being hired Julie met the man of her dreams, Kevin, during an afternoon tasting at the Hollow. After all these years Julie is yet to have a title, but works with Erik to try to keep him in line and try to keep a reign in the HR part of the company. The wonderful part about Toad Hollow is that everyone does what needs to be done. No titles necessary. Now, after all this time, this place and these people Julie shares her day with are as much her family as her own. She is very lucky to be able to bring the second winery dog, Lola (the first being Hank Williams Jr., the wonder wiener dog) to work with her each day as well. Life is good!

	Kathleen Southworth Wine Club & Social Media Director Hostess with the Mostess at all Wine Club Events Kathleen joined the Toad Hollow team in December 2006 to take charge of Dr. Toad’s Wine Club. While this job can often be a juggling act combined with keeping multiple plates spinning in the air, much of Kathleen's work is also fun and allows her penchant for creativity to thrive. In addition to handling the club correspondence, details and database, Kathleen writes the club newsletter and recipe cards and shares the ribbeting news and happenings at the Hollow through posts on Facebook, Twitter and our website blog. Since her husband Bill has been a chef most of his career, Kathleen finds it easy to discover great wine and food pairings at home as well as at work. She often says 'He cooks and I bring home the wine' but Kathleen knows her way around the kitchen, too, especially if it has to do with baking. Kathleen frequently wears the party planner hat and organizes the club wine pick up parties and our annual summer barbecue at the Toad Hollow Ranch, where club members and friends get to kick up their heels, dine and dance and tip some Toad with us in person. Please check out our events page – we hope you can join us!
