It Takes a Wine Village to make every bottle of inspired J,
especially during harvest. We are so
appreciative of our adoring J Fans that we want to share the hard-working J
Harvest Team Members that bring your favorite bottles of J to your table for
sharing with family and friends.
J Team Member:
Eric
Position at J:
Production Worker
Years working
on the J Team: 2 Years
Favorite J
Wine: J Brut Rosé
Eric expressed that he loves the wine business, “J
is my first wine job so I never knew how much work goes into making wine. I find it amazing that it takes such a large
crew of passionate people, from harvesting the grapes, carefully blending and
fermenting the wine, and lastly bottling the distintive J wines.
Eric may sometimes be a bit quiet but his J team
members like his style, Eric says, “I focus on getting my work done well every
day, so I don’t spend much time with
chit chat, but that is okay as my team members appreciate that I always handle
my work load very well with a smile.”
“J is one of the coolest places to work, I love it
here”, says Eric. Eric’s dad has been
working at J for 15 years now, “It was because of my dad that started getting
me interested in the wine business as he always talked about the various job
responsibilities he had on a daily basis and they all sounded very cool, so I
applied at J two years ago and I am loving every minute of it.”
When Eric is not working at J, you will probably
find him fishing, Eric says, “I was pretty much born with a fishing pole in my
hand. My dad and I share a great aspiration
for fishing as we take many family trips to the Klamath River, which is one of
our favorite places the fish. My second
favorite place to fish is the Russian River, which is located directly behind
the winery.” Eric also spends his free
time gaming, “I love the Xbox, it is my favorite gaming source for playing
games on-line, and I meet and compete with people around the world which is
very cool.”
Eric says, “I love the flexibility of my job in
the production department as we have the opportunity to rotate positions on the
bottling line so I am able to learn all of the machines, which makes my day
much more interesting. I am very excited
about our new screw capper for the J California Pinot Gris; it is an impressive
machine to operate as it is highly efficient, a very hip machine.”
Eric is a valued J team member, he has the
sweetest demeanor and always reliable.
So when you are opening your bottle of J wine, keep in mind that Eric
had a significant role in the final touches to your special bottle of J wine. Cheers!
Cheers,
J
