Jenny Kneece started working for Adelsheim as a 2007 harvest intern.  She has since joined the winemaking team as a full-time cellar worker and oversees grower relations on behalf of the winery. 

In 2001, she received a B.S. degree in Forest Management from Humboldt State University. That same year she became a certified arborist and worked as a contractor for utilities, working with various public and private landowners on right-of-way management of trees, shrubs and orchards in the Sierra Foothills.  In 2005, she began to take winemaking and viticulture classes through Sierra College and UC Davis Extension.  Jenny continues to study viticulture and winemaking at Chemeketa Community College.
