Jackie’s story is not as rich with experience in wine, but with a foundation in marketing and PR that would prove to be an asset for The Wine House. Although she grew up drinking some of the world’s finest wines, she knew very little about them until she met Michael in the Mediterranean onboard Seabourn Cruise Line and everything changed.

Jackie shares her now passion for wine with one for politics. A political veteran, Jackie has worked for state political parties, served as a press secretary on Capital Hill for a US Congressman and a Communications Director for a state-wide US Senate campaign. She hung her political hat when she met Michael and craved a slower paced lifestyle.

The Wine House launched one week after Jackie delivered their second child, Sophia properly named after one of Michael & Jackie’s favorite wines from Craggy Range Winery. They now have 4 young children and Jackie happily juggles her marketing & promotions role with The Wine House and while homeschooling the kids.
