Jason Tosch
Director of Viticulture
Growing up in the Oregon countryside near the small town of Banks gave Jason a taste for what has since become Oregon agriculture’s prized product: Oregon wine. After receiving a degree in Horticulture from Oregon State University in 1994, Jason began his career first as the head grower and eventually vice president of production for a cut-flower greenhouse operation. Prior to joining Anne Amie, Jason spent the last two years as Vineyard Manager at Ponzi Vineyards. Remembering fondly the harvest crush he worked during his last year at the university and amazed by the progressive development of the Oregon wine industry, he made the decision to step into what has become his current career and passion: growing Oregon’s finest Pinot Noirs. As a general philosophy Jason states, “As a wine grower recognizing and respecting the complicated relationship between site, soil and vine is paramount. Encouraging the vines using balanced and sustainable practices in the vineyards creates the stage for what Pinot Noir in Oregon soils is meant to do: perform beautifully.”
