Within a few years at Epoch, it became apparent that we needed a full time winemaker who would work with Justin Smith overseeing all wine and vine decisions, but who could take on the day-to-day needs of a growing winery. With the help of a really good headhunter and after an extensive international search, we found Jordan Fiorentini, the perfect complement to our team. Jordan is enthusiastic, energetic, experienced, approachable, fun, friendly, and most importantly, she has an awesome palate. She also happens to be wicked smart with an engineering undergraduate degree from Dartmouth College and a masters degree in viticulture from UC Davis. Jordan earned her spurs working in her family's winery in Georgia (They really make wine in Georgia?), at Araujo Estate in Napa, Antinori Winery in Italy (where she met her husband), and most recently as head winemaker at Chalk Hill in Sonoma. Passionate, dedicated, not afraid to push the envelope, and a blast to work with, Jordan is a wonderful addition to our Epoch Team.
