Our Team

Husband and wife duo, Greg and Nikhila Narra Davis, founded Kalasi Cellars. They combine Nikhila’s extensive experience in grape growing and wine making with Greg’s business acumen to create a unique winery with fantastic wines. At Kalasi Cellars, Nikhila takes the reins on “vines and wines,” while Greg focuses on finance, operations, and marketing.

Nikhila Narra Davis: Owner / Viticulturalist / Winemaker
Nikhila jumped headfirst into the Texas wine industry in 2013 with the creation of Narra Vineyards, with 140 acres under her management. Since then she’s worked to round out her experience by making wine at Cakebread Cellars in Napa Valley, earning an introductory sommelier certification, completing a certificate in viticulture from Texas Tech University, and earning an Executive Wine certification from the University of California at Davis. She’s continued her winemaking education through an ongoing mentorship by Dan and Spencer Gatlin of Inwood Estates, which produces some of the finest wine ever in Texas. She is now one of the preeminent female grape growers and winemakers in the state.

Nikhila earned a Bachelor of Science degree from The University of Southern Mississippi in Business Administration with specializations in international business, finance and economics. She also holds a Master’s degree in Public Relations from The University of Southern Mississippi.
