Sean Carroll
Jackson Family Wines
| | Sean Carroll grew up in Napa in a house that had a large vineyard behind it, and he loved to play there. Although his parents owned a restaurant that served wine and wine was served during family celebrations, Sean’s first taste of wine wasn't until Holy Communion when he was in the second grade. It didn't leave the best impression, but when he began waiting tables at Tra Vigne, he was able to taste wines that customers, many of whom were winemakers, left behind after finishing their meals. He began his career working for a marketing agency with wine clients, then went on to Sonoma County Vintners, and ultimately joined Jackson Family Wines in 2017. Here’s Sean’s story. | | |
