Jessica Mozeico co-founded Willamette Valley winery Et Fille Wines, which means “and daughter,” with her father, Howard Mozeico, in 2003. Jessica grew up helping her dad with his winemaking hobby in their garage. She fell in love with wine, though it was a passion she cultivated from the sidelines as she pursued an undergraduate degree from Hamilton College, an MBA from Wharton at the University of Pennsylvania, and a career in biotechnology marketing and strategic planning. After years of leading biotechnology drug launches and marketing teams, Jessica founded Mozeico Consulting to provide strategic planning services and still consults to wine businesses.

Jessica and Howard ran Et Fille Wines together until Howard’s death. Today, Jessica operates the business, making elegantly complex wines inspired by her late father’s legacy and her daughter’s future.
