Our second-generation winemaker, Jamie Benziger, grew up between Benziger and Imagery. While working summers at the wineries, Jamie realized she wanted the family business to be her future. But it wasn’t until her first harvest in the Benziger lab that she discovered her passion for winemaking. After gaining experience working both domestically and abroad, she was well-poised to take over the reins when her father, our Founding Winemaker Joe Benziger retired in 2017. Since becoming winemaker, Jamie has been named the 2019 Best Woman Winemaker in the International Women’s Wine Competition, she was also included on Wine Enthusiast’s list of 40 Under 40 Tastemakers.
