As Director of Cheyenne Club & Wine at Brush Creek Ranch, Sydney Werry loves to share her passion for wine with her guests, not just by suggesting what to choose to fill their glass — but also by educating guests about ideal wine pairings based on her knowledge of the history and characteristics of varietals, vintages, and producers from around the world. Some might say Sydney’s passion for wine is in her genes — her father grew Sangiovese grapes in their backyard and she and her little brother spent many a Sunday afternoon playing with the vineyard dog and drinking sparkling apple juice while her parents were in the tasting rooms of wineries in the Sierra Foothills and Sonoma and Napa counties. Over the years Sydney has expanded her wine knowledge beyond her home state of California through positions as Sommelier at Aldo Sohm for three years, almost two years as Head Sommelier at WS New York (a Wine Spectator Restaurant in Hudson Yards, NY), and extensive wine education as a DipWSET candidate.

Executive Chef of Brush Creek Ranch, Chef Ricky began his culinary journey promising his mother to use his cooking to create joy and happiness. That promise continues to drive chef’s passion, dedication, creativity, and most importantly, joy in the kitchen. Chef trained in Classic French cuisine under Chef Franck Putelat, an Meillieur Ouvere de France and a Bocuse d’or Winner in his 2 Michelin Star restaurant.  He has Staged with Michelin Chef Erik Anderson at COI and USA Bocuse d’or Winner, Mentor Chef Phillip Tessier at The Press restaurant, and is also a San Pellegrino young Chef of the World USA finalist 2022-2023.

Executive Pastry Chef at Brush Creek Ranch, Chef Keisha Sanderson has been in the kitchen for over 25 years. Keisha was born and raised in Jamaica, where she inherited the love, joy, and passion for pastries beginning at a young age of nine when she built her first wedding cake with the guidance of her Godmother. With extensive experience serving as Pastry Chef in luxury resorts, hotels, and restaurants all over the world, Chef Keisha has held positions in St. Lucia, Canada, California, Florida and New York.
