JESSE LANGE General Manager/Winemaker Jesse’s formal winemaking training occurred at New Zealand’s Lincoln University while on student exchange from Oregon State in 1999. A two year stint as cellar rat for winemaker Bruce McGuire at Santa Barbara Winery rounded out his experience outside of Oregon. His duties at the winery include winemaking, vineyard oversight, distribution, and general management. He enjoys serving his industry and community by participating on the Board of Directors for both Oregon Pinot Camp as well serving as Vice President of the Dundee Hills Winegrowers Association, Oregon’s first sub-appellation. In November of 2004, Jesse was elected to the Yamhill County Water and Soil Conservation Board and is working on building stronger vineyard relationships with the county. He enjoys flyfishing for steelhead and just about everything else halfway athletic and fully outdoors. And, of course, playing with his Golden Retriever, Magnum “Maggie” Lange. |
