Vice President of Sales
(Wine Jobs:
Sales & Marketing)
Full Time
Remote,
California
After 16 years of turning wine lovers into winemakers in Argentina, The Vines of Mendoza has launched The Vines (the-vines.com). Our members travel to the world’s most storied winemaking regions, learning the craft from master practitioners and creating their own unique vintages. The idea is to get to know the world by making wine – to have outposts at select vineyards where we could make our own micro labels by building relationships with the most inventive, celebrated growers and winemakers.
This exciting venture enables its members to travel the world, enjoy curated local experiences in top wine regions, and make their own custom wines and participate in local “money can’t buy” experiences. Members might produce a Brunello di Montalcino in the heart of Tuscany one year, a Pinot Noir in Oregon or a Grenache in Spain and along the way sampling world famous wines paired with Franklin Barbecue or participate in a cooking class with famed chef, Francis Mallmann.
