A freelance production accountant in Culver City, California, Kelli Gillam has more than two decades of accounting experience in multiple fields. From 2010 to 2014, Kelli Gillam owned Terranova Fine Wines, a wine shop in Monterey, California.
With 30 wines distributed through a state-of-the-art self-service pouring system, Terranova Fine Wines sold wine in amounts of 1, 3, and 5 ounces. The shop also offered wine tastings for a minimal charge that the bar subsequently waived with purchase of any bottle.
Terranova’s wine selection, chosen by manager Jeff Alexander, emphasized boutique brands from California. Beer drinkers could choose from bottled beers that included popular imports such as Chimay and domestic favorites such as Shock Top.
Terranova featured three flat screen televisions and comfortable padded chairs for customers to spend time and relax. Through a partnership with the neighboring restaurant Lallapalooza, patrons could also order food that ranged from seared ahi to pizza.
