Jamie Cohen

A 17 year hospitality professional, it was in Crested Butte, Colorado that Jamie got fully drawn into the world of wine. While at Elk Ave Prime, he joined the owners on a trip to Napa Valley and has been singular in his pursuit ever since.

Following that trip, and driven by his curiosity of all things wine, he ventured to the Willamette Valley to work the 2017 harvest at Adelsheim Vineyards. Falling in love with the coast, he has worked at some of the finest resorts in Oregon and California, including The Allison Inn, Grand Award recipient Post Ranch Inn, and 2 Michelin star Harbor House Inn.

It is here on the Central Coast Jamie has decided to call home. Remembering fondly his time at Post Ranch Inn, and the bounty of the region, he was lured to Santa Barbara County to run the historic program at The Wine Merchant Café in Los Olivos. Missing the call of fine dining, he joined the team at Caruso's, at the beautiful Rosewood Miramar Beach. Immersed in the area, he is eager to share what this wonderful region has to offer.
