As the co-founder and official “Do-er of A Lot of Things,” Jill has been with Rincon Mountain Winery since the very beginning. When she’s not talking tasting notes and vinyl with guests at the Tasting Room, she’s dreaming up memorable experiences for Rincon’s customers and Wine Club members. As a Level 1 Sommelier who works with the grapes from planting through bottling, she’s got a unique perspective and stories to share with wine enthusiasts who are curious about Rincon Mountain Winery’s vintages.

As the Manager of our Paso Robles ranch, Salvador oversees the vineyard, hopyard, barleyfield, and the animals who call the ranch home. With his rich background of hands-on experience, Salvador has worked for nearly two decades to keep the ranch running true to the highest quality standards. With his positive energy and unrivaled work ethic, Salvador is the guy you turn to for motivation during long harvest days.

Alfie joined the team when she was just 3 months old, and quickly went from resident cuteness to self-designated Huntress of the Mountain. Alfie’s job includes hanging with her best buds, Lucy and Monk, barking at the paragliders who get too close to the mountain, and making sure coyotes don’t steal her dad’s wine at night. She’s happy to get paid in belly rubs and treats, which she collects with interest at every winery event. 

Lucy joined the team as a puppy in 2017 and has really grown into her role. As Rincon Mountain Winery’s Head of Security, Lucy starts and ends her day with a patrol of the property. During the day she can be found napping in the sun, helping mom in the office, or lounging in the winery. Despite the long hours during harvest, Lucy is a loyal and loving team member who always gives 110%. With her German Shepherd alertness, she never misses the opportunity for pets or ear scratches. Lucy’s currently enrolled in a training program for Very Good Girls, certificate pending.
