Our Team
Nate Jones
Born and raised in Wisconsin, Nate came to the Pacific Northwest (PNW) by way of Washington, DC. After nearly twelve years on Capitol Hill and in the White House, he headed West in search of a better balance. Between work and personal life. Time in the office and time outdoors. Solving problems with his head and with his hands. Concinnitas Farm has been an integral part of that, offering a connection to so many things that he loves: family, friends, travel, history, geology, geography, food, the infinite intellectual challenges associated with viticulture and winemaking, and, of course, the common thread that brings all of these things together - wine.

FOUNDER & WINEMAKER
FOUNDER & FARM OWNERZulima Espinel
As a child in Washington, D.C., Zulima spent countless weekends with her father at the National Gallery, inspiring a deep appreciation of beauty and creativity. Growing up in the shadows of the national monuments also instilled in her a sense of mission that led her into government service, both in Congress and at the White House. After moving to the West Coast, the farm allows Zulima a way to exercise each of these deeply held passions. The beauty and artistry at the core of viticulture and winemaking.

FOUNDER & WINEMAKERChad Stock
Chad’s career in winemaking began with a formal education in viticulture and enology. His early work in the Willamette Valley included time at Antica Terra and Johan Vineyards. In 2011, he launched his own brand, Minimus, a project rooted in questioning convention and exploring what other grape varieties are capable of when approached with openness and precision. Over his career, Chad has developed a unique set of experience — producing benchmark Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, gaining unmatched experience with non-traditional grape varieties, and developing and managing vineyards. His work is guided by technical precision and an independent, deeply curious mindset.
