It all started when a teenage kid was the designated driver for his family going wine tasting in Napa, CA. It was then, that Jason Goelz, future owner and winemaker, fell in love with the industry. After receiving one of the first minors in Wine and Viticulture at Cal Poly SLO, Jason had a dream of entering the wine industry. After college he worked in the corporate/tech world, but continued building on his dreams by making wine in a friend’s basement. After making a major career change and taking some risks, he eventually achieved his goal and opened the doors to Jason-Stephens Winery on October 2008.
