Aimee Oandasan

Controller

Aimee Oandasan brings extensive expertise and a deep-rooted love for the area to her role as Controller at Kenefick Ranch. Born on Good Friday in the spring of 1972 in Sonoma County, California, Aimee lived there until age five before moving to Southeast Texas. After high school, she returned to California, spending eight years in Sacramento before settling back in Sonoma County in 1999 with her, in her words, “awesome son.” She now lives in Petaluma with her fiancé, Francis, while her son, now grown, lives in Sacramento.

Aimee’s career began at her grandparents’ nursery and florist, where she developed her dedication to customer service, accounting, and back-office work from an early age. Following roles in well drilling and glazing construction, she found her way to the wine industry in 2005 at Viansa Winery. She worked her way up from Executive Assistant to CFO, mastering each facet of the wine business—from grape growing and picking to compliance, logistics, production, accounting, inventory, sales, and even winery software. Her experience at wineries such as Maxville Lake Winery, Deerfield Ranch Winery, and Lynmar Winery furthered her admiration for how each winery’s unique process and choice of grapes impact the wine.

In addition to her practical experience, Aimee has pursued specialized education to enhance her financial and technical expertise. She holds certifications in Microsoft Computer Applications and Database Management from MTI Business College and Wine Industry Finance & Accounting from Sonoma State University. These credentials have further strengthened her ability to manage complex financial and technical operations within the wine industry.

Aimee has found her ideal workplace at Kenefick Ranch, where the team values family, hard work, and authenticity. With scenic vineyard views, fresh air, and local wildlife right outside her office, she feels grateful to have found her happy place here.
