Kimberly Stalwick, Pacific Divisional Manager for Hahn Family Wines, passed away suddenly on Monday, November 2, 2009 due to complications from cancer. A California native, Kimberly worked for nearly 30 years in the wine industry. While attending Cal Poly Pomona, she became involved in the restaurant business, later worked with Wine Warehouse of Southern California and then eventually started her own wine brokering business. In 2002, Kimberly joined Hahn Family Wines where her zest for life and enthusiasm was always apparent and welcome.

“Kimberly was the self-designated ‘hostess’ for any and everyone,” said Bill Leigon, Hahn Family Wines President who was a close personal friend and colleague of Kimberly for close to thirty years, “Her sudden death has left us all in a state of shock. She was still exercising in the pool a week ago. She brought light and energy to all she came in contact with and her passing leaves a great void.”

Kimberly, who was 54 years old, had a love for the great outdoors and spent as much time as possible with her seven nephews and family. A memorial service is pending for Thursday, November 12, 2009 in Claremont, California.
