Hi, my name is Kevin. I moved to the Bay Area in 2006 and I think it's such a great place to live that I don't plan on leaving any time soon. I started working at Fleming Jenkins while finishing graduate school at San Jose State University. Although I work full time as a Certified Athletic Trainer during the week, you can often find me behind the tasting counter on weekends. If I'm not in the Tasting Room, then I’m probably out with friends exploring the Bay Area or at the beach playing volleyball. My name is Ron and I have worked at Fleming Jenkins Vineyards & Winery since June 2008. I love wine, I love Los Gatos, I think Greg and Peggy are about the nicest people in the world and love the wines they make here at FJ. Before coming to Fleming Jenkins I lived for 3 years in Sonoma and worked for the Benziger family at their Imagery Estate winery in the tasting room. Prior to that, I owned and operated a data service in Los Gatos for 26 years. |
