KATE WELKER - CFP®FINANCIAL PLANNER

I enjoy helping clients understand their finances and how to use their resources to live their ideal lives. I spent years working in a world that only focused on the investments and I found myself constantly wanting to do more for my clients. The investments are a piece of your puzzle, but I want to look at the big picture made up of all the pieces.

I joined Rooted Planning Group to be able to offer comprehensive advice to my clients. Working with a team of financial planners lets me focus on building client relationships while bringing the knowledge and experience of the group to the table.

I specialize in working with small business owners as well as busy working families. I was raised by hard working parents who both owned their own businesses, so I intimately understand what that lifestyle entails, the struggles, the responsibility, and the freedom.  My current life can be summarized by busy working family; balancing careers, time, finances, and children is a reality I understand. I also love to travel, get lost in books, and savor time with my family.

Californian Red BlendCalifornia

Some of the greatest wines in California are a blend of various red grapes. The most successful blends follow the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot recipes of Bordeaux, but with even more intensity.

These wines are typically luscious and strong with lots of ripe blackberry, black currant, and vanilla flavors.

The warm days and cool nights of the Napa Valley in Northern California make it the ideal place to make Bordeaux-style red wines. Although the wines of Bordeaux have historically been considered the best wines of the world, the bolder, richer, and more fruit-forward wines of California are now just as respected.

Just like Bordeaux, California's dominant grape is Cabernet Sauvignon with its rich blackberry flavors. Merlot is added to soften the edges and add red fruit flavors. Cabernet Franc and Petite Verdot are even added at times for complexity. These California blends are very balanced and are great when they are young, but they can also age for decades.

Another popular blend is made from Grenache and Syrah. This style is a fuller and richer version of the wines of France's Rhône Valley.
