Since 2015, when we opened the doors to our beautiful MacRostie Estate House in the idyllic Russian River Valley, we have dedicated ourselves to providing our guests with the finest wine tasting experience in Sonoma County. While our frontline Wine Ambassadors are the welcoming faces that greet and guide you during a MacRostie tasting, it also takes a great back-of-the-house team to ensure that every guest experience is all that it can be. That’s where Jamison comes in. “As assistant operations manager, it’s my job to help ensure the trains run on time at the Estate House,” says Jamison, who joined our team in 2022.

Jamison was born and raised in Sonoma County, where she developed an interest in wine working in the hospitality industry before earning an associate of arts degree in communications. Jamison began her career in wine at Fort Ross Vineyard and Winery, where she served as the assistant tasting room manager. During this time, Jamison took an out-of-town guest for a visit to MacRostie, and both Jamison and her friend left as passionate wine club members. After years as a member, when the chance came to join our team, Jamison was thrilled. “I’d already fallen in love with  MacRostie’s wines, the Estate House experience, and its amazing team. Now I’m part of that team, and instead of paying for the wines, I get paid to sample them!” As our assistant operations manager, Jamison wears many hats, overseeing inventory, payroll, and many other aspects of operations that help ensure seamless operations at the Estate House.

Jamison holds her WSET Level 1 certification from the Napa Valley Wine Academy and lives in Santa Rosa with her dog and two ducks. Outside of work, she loves hiking in nature and taking day trips to the coast. While her go-to MacRostie wines are the Hellenthal and Wildcat Mountain Pinot Noirs, once the weather warms, it’s Rosé of Pinot Noir time for Jamison.
