Tim has worked in the wine industry for 10 years, and has been part of the J. Christopher team since 2006. An artist through and through, he oversees the production of the wine, from grape to bottle. Asked what he loves most about his work, Tim says, “What’s not to love?” He genuinely enjoys the entire process, but perhaps his favorite part is that feeling of accomplishment that comes from seeing, smelling and tasting the finished product.

Outside of the winery, Tim indulges several other artistic pursuits. Like our winemaker, Jay, he is a talented musician. A graduate of the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, Tim teaches and plays bass guitar with numerous people around Portland. He is also quite the photographer — a talent he inherited from his father. We’re grateful for that talent, in particular, since it provided us with most of the gorgeous photographs featured throughout this website.
