Jennifer Montalbano
Jennifer discovered her passion for wine as Manager and Event Coordinator at Crú A Wine Bar in The Woodlands,Texas, a premier wine bar with over 300 wine selections and 40 premium wines offered by the glass, as well as taster pairings and wine flights. She comes to Hunnicutt with a comprehensive knowledge of fine wines of the world and extensive work in marketing and sales.
Her love for people from all walks of life and a yearning to learn more about vine to bottle production, Jennifer decided to pursue a career, not only in the wine industry, but better yet, in the very heart of wine country, the Napa Valley. This gutsy Texas transplant packed up her things, hopped in her truck with her dog in tow, and left big city Houston for the vineyards of Napa Valley. The magic of the people, the food, the culture and the wines of the valley told her this was the place she wanted to stay.
Jennifer has worked for over seven years in the customer service industry, including various aspects of the wine business from customer service, event planning, to retail before accepting the Director of Hospitality position at Hunnicutt Wines. She is responsible for Sales and Marketing in conjunction with Justin and Debbie, along with the day-today office operations, Tastings and Tours.
In her spare time, Jennifer loves to go hiking and jogging with her dog Reese, cooking, traveling and, of course, enjoying a great glass of fine wine!
If you have questions regarding where to dine or stay during your visit to the valley, Jennifer would love to hear from you to give you some of her favorite recommendations!
