Meet our team

After spending time in the corporate world in Australia, my passion for wine and the allure of vineyards and winemaking inspired me to start a business dedicated to sourcing the finest products from around the world and providing them to winemakers in Victoria and Tasmania. It was an incredible environment, filled with talented individuals from whom I learned a great deal about wine. During that time, I also built relationships with suppliers who produce exceptional products that perform reliably in both ideal and challenging winemaking conditions.

When family brought me back to the U.S., I set out to establish a winemaking business that would leverage my network of premium suppliers to support winemakers in Oregon, Washington and Idaho with technology and great customer service. Over my past 20 vintages based here in Oregon, I have gained a deep appreciation for the uniqueness of the Pacific Northwest region and the many skilled artisans who craft wines here.

Kristine is one of those talented individuals who has chosen to join Pacific Winemaking, bringing her winemaking experience from both overseas and the Northwest.

Ian, another very talented winemaker from the Oregon Willamette Valley, has  joined Pacific Winemaking with his extensive international winemaking and vineyard experience. He brings a wide range of knowledge to all the processes of winemaking and is experienced in all aspects of the wine production business.

Together in Pacific Winemaking llc, our joint philosophy is to offer and support with local customer service, a carefully curated selection of products that are perfectly suited to our unique region and helping winemakers bring out the best in their grapes—from vine to glass.

Cheers!
