Craig Ellick is known by all for his infectious passion and enthusiasm! His tenured career with Jackson Family Wines began in 1996 as a sales rep in Napa and Sonoma but he was quickly promoted to State District Manager two years later and moved his family to South Carolina where he spent the next eight years in the South selling JFW wines. In 2003, Craig had the trip of the lifetime visiting France and Italy with founder Jess Jackson, and current Chairman Barbara Banke; in his words— ”totally changed my wine life”. Craig spent the next twelve years in the Northeast selling the Jackson Family luxury wine portfolio to the top restaurants from New York City to Philadelphia to Boston, creating wine enthusiasts and connoisseurs everywhere we went. He has held numerous prestigious positions since including Stonestreet Winery Ambassador and Jackson Estate Ambassador. Once his kids grew up and started lives of their own, he and his wife moved back to California where he originally planted roots in the wine industry; they currently reside in Marin County with their three dogs.
