Giant Steps has always had an unwavering commitment to creating high-quality wines that tell the stories of our sites, which we see as some of the most exciting vineyards in the country.

Both the Winery of the Year and Best Pinot Noir awards represent the collective effort and dedication from our team to keep improving and increasing the quality of the grapes we grow and the wines we bottle each year. I am proud to work with such a talented and devoted group of people and look forward to honoring them while celebrating these awards.”

My fiancé Ross Camp wrote a beautiful and personal piece for his company’s blog for Pride month. Neither of us take for granted how fortunate it is to work for employers who value all of who we are. While many companies are cynically dismantling DEI initiatives across the country, ours are ramping up! Look- I even proposed to Ross wearing my DEI jacket! Here’s to love and progress in the workplace! Commvault Jackson Family Wines
