Chief Winemaker - Seattle

Do you like people as much as making wine? Do you have a proven track record of pushing the envelope and creating knock-out wines? Excited by the idea of making hundreds of unique wines every year? We are currently creating the team to support our expansion into Seattle later this year and are looking for a mature, experienced leader to build out and operate a 30,000+ case facility in the heart of Seattle. Requirements include:

Track record of creating great, not simply good, wine
B.S. degree in Enology or equivalent
Excellent sensory skills
Deep experience with every function in the winery
Ability to hire and motivate a rockstar winemaking team
Strong organizational, planning and financial skills
A slight bias to masochism because this is the hardest job you'll ever have

Our preference is for someone with at least 10 years production experience and broad coverage of red and white varietals and winemaking styles.

General Management, Marketing & Client Management - Seattle

While the person above is building out the winery, we're also building a team of general management, marketing and client management. You will work closely with the team in San Francisco, leveraging central processes and resources while creating a unique environment and brand building initiatives to support Seattle. There will be more details on these roles forthcoming, but if you'd like to make an introduction please drop us an email and we'll get back to you.
