There is no wine without fermentation and there is no Surely without Jess. She graduated from UC Davis with a Bachelor of Science in Viticulture and Enology, going on to work for a winery for five years. During those five years, there wasn't an aspect of winemaking that Jess didn't experience: she planted, pruned, harvested, led tours, and curated sensory classes for visitors.
Now, Jess draws from her extensive knowledge as a winemaker to create swoon-worthy non-alcoholic wine at Surely. She scouts out the highest quality vintages and ingredients, ensuring that everything comes together exactly when they're supposed to. And this is no small feat, because winemaking is as much about timing as it is about ingredients.
