Jess Wade was born into a family with a strong culinary background, his father a pasta maker and his mother a chef, which ultimately was a huge influence on his decision to peruse winemaking at the young age of 21. After working under esteemed winemakers and viticulturists in 3 countries, Jess came back to his roots in Sonoma, Ca in 2016 where he farms his organic estate vineyards and continues to make world class wines for various boutique wineries in Sonoma County.

Throughout his travels Jess has managed to not only accumulate a wide array of knowledge and accolades, but also connections with esteemed winegrowers throughout the Western United States. These connections allow Tagline's unique access to premium viticultural regions while providing only the best quality wines at a consumer-friendly price.

In his spare time Jess still enjoys cooking with his family using fresh produce from his organic garden, exploring the beauty of the Sonoma Coast with his dog Sawyer, hiking the trails of California, flyfishing, and the occasional round of golf.
