Winemaker Jesse Inman
A native of northern California, Jesse Inman was bit by the winemaking bug early in life, thanks to his uncle August “Joe” Briggs, founder and winemaker of August Briggs Wines.
“I’ve been trailing my uncle around in vineyards and cellars as long as I can remember,” says Jesse. “He’s a phenomenal winemaker and mentor.”
His passion for wine reached new heights when Jesse was in college. “I studied fine art/graphic design both here and in London, and supported myself by working as a waiter in fine restaurants. It’s where I developed my palate, and my appreciation for wines of balance and sense of place character.”
In 2006, after years of helping out as needed, Jesse’s joined August Briggs Winery as Assistant Winemaker. Over the next few years, Jesse honed his craft; working at the winery by day and studying viticulture at night. In 2011, Jesse took over as head winemaker for August Briggs Wines, overseeing all grape sourcing and winemaking for the winery’s line of single vineyard and appellation wines.
