MEET JACYLYN
As a fourth-generation Lodi grape grower, wine has always been in my blood. I was raised in the vineyard, spending my happiest days in the dirt, surrounded by vines that felt like home.
Growing up in agriculture taught me that the land is where I feel most at peace. It is where I am most connected to myself, my family, and the rhythm of life.
From Seattle to Burgundy and back to my hometown roots, wine has always been with me. It guides me, grounds me, and ties me to my family’s history and to my soul. From dirt roads to Burgundy and back again, my path has been one of risk, leaps of faith, and trust in the unknown.
That journey of heart, heritage, and being true to myself even in the hardest seasons is the soul of my rosé. For me it is la vie en rose, life seen through a lens of beauty, resilience, and love.
“Find beauty in what you drink and who you are.”
À votre beauté,
Jacylyn
MEET JACYLYN
As a fourth-generation Lodi grape farmer, wine has always been in my blood. I was raised in a vineyard and spent my happiest days playing in the dirt. And who needs Malibu Barbie’s Jeep when you have a Quantum grape harvester to play with?
Going to work with my dad and grandpa, I attempted to learn all there was to know about my family’s business and the industry I knew I would one day enter. I loved my family and my life but, as it does to so many of us small town kids, the world told me to “get out”, “break free” and experience life “out there”. So I did.
In 2008 I moved to Seattle and pursued a Bachelor’s degree at University of Washington before going to work in corporate America. But the work I was told should make me happy only left me wanting more out of life. Finally, I decided that it was time to do the bravest thing I could…be myself. In 2018, I moved to Dijon, Burgundy to pursue my dream education – an MBA in Wine & Spirits.
In the heart of one of the world’s most prestigious wine regions, I began to live the career and life I could never have imagined for myself. I was finally on the right path, my path. I never thought that path would lead me from France back to Lodi. I’ve had people tell me I was crazy for leaving France behind for my family, but in my mind, nothing is crazier than not following your heart.
