Sabrine graduated with a Master’s of Science in Viticulture in and Enology from UC Davis in 2004. She immediately began working at San Saba Vineyards, filling a brand new empty winery; sourcing equipment, and arranging the layout. In 2007 the Thomas Family changed the focus of San Saba Vineyard to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and Wrath Wines was born, refocusing the brand to premium wine production.

In 2011 Sabrine started her own small label Scratch, in which she focuses on Chardonnay Sparkling Wine from San Saba Vineyards, Riesling and Grenache from the Arroyo Seco, Pinot Noir from the Santa Lucia Highlands, and Cabernet from the Santa Cruz Mountains. Scratch has a tasting room in the Carmel Valley Village. She also is the Winemaker for a few other small pilot brands. Sabrine is now heading into her 23rd harvest as a Winemaker.

Sabrine is married to Koorosh Afshari, who is a mediator in the San Francisco Bay Area. They have a home in the Santa Cruz Mountains where they enjoy raising hens, gardening heirloom tomatoes, and looking up at the stars.
