Our Team
The Archery Summit team is an experienced and personable family devoted to taking Willamette Valley wine to new heights. Such commitment stretches from our winemaking and vineyard personnel to our sales and hospitality staff.
Kim Abrahams Winemaker
Kimberly (Kim) Abrahams is a highly accomplished winemaker whose journey through the world of viticulture is as rich and layered as the wines she expertly crafts. With a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Louisiana and a Certificate in Viticulture from Washington State University, Kim’s career spans some of the most renowned wineries in the industry, reflecting her deep passion for the craft and her pursuit of excellence.
Kim’s diverse experience includes time spent at prestigious wineries such as Lingua Franca in the Eola-Amity Hills, Domaine Serene in the Dundee Hills, Robert Sinskey Vineyards in Napa, and Delamere in Tasmania. Her career trajectory showcases not only her technical expertise but also her adaptability across different terroirs and winemaking philosophies, cementing her reputation as a versatile and innovative winemaker.
Kim’s expertise has also made her a sought-after speaker at renowned trade shows, including the Oregon International Pinot Noir Celebration and the Oregon Wine Symposium, where she shares her insights and contributes to the broader wine community.
When she’s not crafting exceptional wines, Kim is embracing life to the fullest. A proud McMinnville local, she’s all about connecting with her community, both personally and professionally. Along with her husband, she co-owns Mac Wine Lockers, adding her entrepreneurial flair to the town. But Kim’s interests don’t stop there. She’s a passionate beekeeper, food enthusiast, and a lover of culinary arts and literature.
Her southern Louisiana roots have nurtured a natural sense of warmth and hospitality, which Kim brings to every aspect of her life, from personal relationships to her professional approach. Her love for travel fuels her curiosity and commitment to lifelong learning, constantly inspiring new perspectives that influence both her winemaking and her approach to life.
At home in McMinnville, Kim shares her life with her husband, two young sons, Ansel and Miller, and their loyal golden retriever, Cedar. Together, they cultivate a warm, vibrant, and nurturing family environment that mirrors Kim’s philosophy of balance, growth, and connection—values she brings to both her winemaking and her personal life.
Corey Beyer Associate Winemaker
Corey has been with Archery Summit since the 2004 vintage. The Minnesotan worked for the Bureau of Land Management after studying at the University of Wisconsin. He surveyed wildlife and combated forest fires before entering the growing Oregon wine movement in the 1990s.
A staunch supporter of his Willamette Valley community, Corey appreciates the entire vinification process, from budbreak to bottling. “It’s great to play a part in creating something that people enjoy with friends and family,” he says. “It takes a lot of hands to make that great glass of wine.”
He lives in McMinnville with his wife, three children, and yellow Lab, Isis. A competitive golfer and outdoors enthusiast, Corey is currently perfecting his fly-tying abilities.

Jared Evans Tasting Room Manager
Five years into his journey at Archery Summit, Jared has grown into the role of Tasting Room Manager. Coming from southern Oregon, Jared’s path led him to Linfield College, where he graduated in 2019 with a finance major and a wine studies minor. It was during his time at Linfield that Jared’s fascination with Oregon wine evolved into a deep-seated passion, ignited by immersive experiences in tasting rooms and the vibrant, collaborative spirit of the Willamette Valley.
Jared’s enthusiasm for wine lies in its approachability, which is evident when guests light up with delight during a vineyard hike or a tasting session in the barrel caves. His ability to connect with visitors and share his knowledge enhances their experience, leaving a lasting impression.
Beyond the winery, Jared finds joy in outdoor pursuits such as skiing and golf, indulges his passion for sports as a dedicated Portland Trailblazers fan, and delves into his love for trivia. These diverse interests reflect Jared’s multifaceted personality and commitment to living life to the fullest inside and outside of work.
Nicholas Tucci Cellar Master
Originally from Washington DC, Nicholas Tucci fell in love with wine while working in restaurants. Between cooking, serving, and managing, he learned what it meant to craft a flavor and an experience. After pursuing the course of study for the Court of Master Sommeliers, he took a chance on a vineyard and cellar internship in Australia. After working in the Barossa Valley, he travelled to Oregon, where he worked for Keeler Estate Vineyard and Adelsheim Vineyard before Archery Summit. While he has primarily worked in the cellar, he has a deep appreciation for viticulture, cultivated and advanced through Chemeketa Community College’s vineyard management course. When he’s not working, he spends his time gardening, cooking, and exploring the bounty of Oregon.
