51Weeks Winemaking 2019 Super Cascadian

Audrey Crosland

Direct-to-Consumer Associate & Hostess

Audrey began at Amaterra after Amaterra’s grand opening in January of 2022. She had worked in the spirits industry before, but never wine and wanted to try something new. Though Audrey is still becoming intimately acquainted with winemaking, she says the people she works with are what make working in the wine industry so much fun. After hours, you can find her reading, throwing clay, taking pictures, or being surrounded by her two corgis and three geckos.

James Avenoso

Direct-to-Consumer Sales and Wine Club Manager

Born in Hershey, Pennsylvania, James discovered a passion for flavor profiles and learning the various techniques used throughout the culinary world at the Culinary Institute of America in New York. He worked at the Sanctuary Hotel at Kiawah Island Golf Resort as a sommelier and led teams at The Hotel Hershey and The Nines Hotel. James moved to the west coast to work harvests at Domaine Roy in the Willamette Valley, fell in love with Oregon wines, and found his new home. He enjoys playing golf and bass guitar as well as sharing nice bottles of wine with friends.
