Terri Jackson
Controller
Terri began at Roche in 2007 effortlessly taking on major
responsibilities, from making sure our licensing for all our wines is in
order to keeping every line of operation on budget. Terri has proved a
great addition to our staff with her contagious laughter. Terri
likes us to think she lives a quiet life, but you can often find her
riding a motorcycle through the wine country. Her knitting abilities
have kept several staff members' feet warm this winter!
Peter Kruse
Assistant Winemaker
New to Roche in 2006, Peter grew up working in his family's small
winery in Gilroy, CA. Looking for a change, he brewed beer for
Gordon Biersch for five years. His most recent experience was as
winemaker at Story Winery in Amador County where he also worked for
five years. One can always find Peter busy in the barrel room
tending to our wines. Aside from making wine, Peter enjoys traveling
with his wife. His quiet sense of humor and adventurous gastronomic
tastes will surprise you.
Marco
Alvarez
Shipping Manager
The newest addition to Roche's staff, Marco sees to it that that every Roche order shipped has been properly and carefully packaged in his daily shipping
tasks. His calm demeanor comes in handy when dealing with complicated
shipping issues. When not dutifully packing our customers' orders Marco
spends his time producing and filming independent films. By the way,
he's a champion martial arts fighter but you wouldn't know it by his
quiet demeanor.
