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.
Most oenophiles who venture to France to get a taste of Old World wine culture bring home memories of unforgettable meals or a new favorite producer. Ian brought home his life calling and a passion for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. His winemaking stints abroad—propelled by a wine education degree from California Polytechnic University—instilled in him an undying appreciation for cool-climate winemaking.
“The Loire is where I fell in love with wine,” Ian says. “Burgundy is where I fell for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.”
Ian’s reverence for these two noble varieties ultimately led him to Oregon’s Willamette Valley and Archery Summit. After years of making wine on both sides of the equator, Ian made his Oregon winemaking debut at prominent Willamette Valley label Evening Land Vineyards.
Ian considers Burgundian winemaker Dominique Lafon among his greatest mentors and is constantly impressed by the sense of community in the wine world, whether it’s in the French countryside or on the crush pads of the Dundee Hills. Driven by the pioneering spirit of New World enology, Ian continues to help chart Archery Summit’s exemplary path while honoring the uniqueness and history of its Dundee Hills sites.
He lives in the nearby Eola-Amity Hills, where he enjoys gardening, cooking, and exploring Oregon with his wife and young children.
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.
Karina, an Oregon native, brings her 17 years of fine-dining expertise to Archery Summit, where she crafts exceptional guest experiences. With a passion for introducing people to remarkable wines, especially Oregon Pinot Noir, she has curated extensive wine lists and established herself as a leader in the industry.
Karina has set high standards over her eleven-year tenure at Archery Summit, ensuring guests leave with cherished memories. With previous roles at esteemed Willamette Valley producers, she brings a wealth of experience to her role as Estate Manager, focusing on building a tight-knit wine club community and curating unique tasting experiences.
Beyond work, Karina enjoys planning adventures and spending quality time with her family, reflecting her dedication to creating personally and professionally unforgettable moments.
Five years into his journey at Archery Summit, Jared has grown into the role of Assistant 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.
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.
