The People
Dave & Deolinda Coelho
Joined at the hip and of spirited Portuguese descent, Dave and Deolinda are the driving force behind the winery they founded in 2004. Deolinda is the numbers lady, while Dave handles all the operations, including fixing a number of broken things. Their Portuguese hospitality shows in everything they do.
Chris Bertsche
Taking the Coelho winemaking reins in 2016, winemaker Chris Bertsche handles all aspects of wine production. Coming from stints with Jacques Lardier (Jadot/Résonance), James Frey (Trisaetum), and before that in Sonoma County, the native Californian is fond of saying, “No problems, only solutions.” Chardonnay is his go-to varietal.
Luke Molitor
Luke brings the vibes, the visuals, and a love for bringing people together in harmony. Whether he’s designing, meditating, practicing archery, or exploring the creative edge of AI, he’s all about raising the collective frequency. For Luke, wine is more than a drink—it’s a deeply human experience that enriches the journey.
David Coelho
Father, brother, son, and winery manager, David always gets his hands dirty helping with production, overseeing operations, and managing our wonderful employees. He is one of the hardest-working team members here at Coelho Winery, and we are grateful for how diligent and sacrificing he can be!
Jeimy Sucelly Huber
A Veteran of the U.S. Air Force and known as the “Purple Panda” because of her favorite color and animal, Jeimy pitches in the office, social media, and warehouses with shipping, inventory, paperwork, and transport. You can find her in the tasting room, greeting you with her huge smile, laughter, and knowledge of Coelho wines.
Roberto Olague Gonzalez
Roberto is our vineyard manager. He is never happier than in the field managing his crew and his babies, the vines in our three vineyards. Involved in all aspects of viticulture, from repairing the trellising to mowing and disking, pruning, shoot thinning and positioning, and harvesting, Roberto ensures that our fruit is of top quality.
