Jackson Family Wines’ Post

🌟 Employee Spotlight 🌟 Meet Trey Christy, our Brand Manager for Vérité Estate and Anakota! With over 20 years of wine industry experience, Trey’s journey began with the Houston Grand Opera, where he played the viola. His passion for fine wine led him to train as a Sommelier in 2003, eventually earning the title of Advanced Sommelier. Trey joined Jackson Family Wines in 2011 with the Spire Collection, a role that brought him to Sonoma County, where he delved into Sales Management, Marketing, and expanded his wine expertise. At Vérité, Trey thrives on sharing the extraordinary story of our vineyards and winemaking. He loves the structure, balance, and complexity that Vérité wines develop over many years of aging, making his go-to choice the oldest bottle of Vérité available! Cheers to Trey and his remarkable journey in the wine world!
