Staff

Merle has been at the store the longest, starting here, then know as the Beer Factory, in June of 1997. Quite frankly Merle is the “quarterback” of operations. Most of her day is spent in the front of the store making sure all our customers are pampered the way they should be. While doing this, she  juggles sales, answers phone calls, makes phone calls, cleans, and ensures the production staff are kept busy. Merle’s “bubbly” personality keeps De Vine Vintners a fun place to visit and work at.

After being a long time customer of De Vine Vintners, Pam decided to join the team in 2009. Pam has been a wine expert for many years and now is the “brew queen” of our business. She spends her time assisting with the filtering of the wines on Tuesdays, and building wines the rest of the time. She also covers for Merle, while she is away. When you come into the store, you will find her with her apron and gloves on mixing up your favourite wines.

“Young Jesse” is the newest member of the team. Jesse started with us early 2010 to help relief Dale of some oh his chores. Jesse spends his week in the back degassing wines. When completes that he backs up Pam in making wine. As the skids of juice and wort arrive from suppliers, he unloads and stocks the shelves with the product. This works out to turns out to be tons of product every week. Jesse is the quiet one of the team (at least compared to Merle). He just spends his day quietly stirring wine.
