About Penner-Ash Wine Cellars
Started in 1998 by one of Oregon's first female vintners, Lynn Penner-Ash, and her husband Ron, Penner-Ash Wine Cellars is committed to friendships, family, and creating wines of uncompromising quality. Lynn worked more than 25 years to develop long-standing relationships with exceptional vineyard sites across six Willamette Valley AVAs, all while building her legacy as a "master blender" of the Willamette AVA. Along the way, she forged a lush and layered style of Pinot Noir. Today, Winemaker Kate Ayres carries on that legacy while fostering new relationships of her own and safeguarding the meticulous blending process she inherited from her mentor Lynn.POSITION SUMMARYUnder the general direction and supervision of the Estate Manager, the Tasting Room Estate Host is responsible for efficiently and effectively hosting guests and promoting the sale of wine through customer service, hospitality, education and a meaningful wine tasting experience.All efforts are focused on attaining monthly sales goals while providing gracious hospitality to consumers and trade.
