Edna Hayes and Bruce Needleman both walked away from fast-paced corporate careers to create a simplified, higher quality way of life. Married in 1988, they envisioned a business and lifestyle, which would allow them to slow down, combine efforts, work and travel together. Hence the creation of Salsa Trading Company, established in 1989, a retail showroom of furnishings and accessories in Sonoma, California. They have had a long-time love affair with California wine country and their innate knowledge of the place adds to their expertise.
