Christie Shertzer, a reformed ballerina and East Coaster, found her way into Willamette Valley wine nearly 15 years ago. During that time she built, rebranded, and developed hospitality and operations programs for new and established tasting rooms: The Tasting Room in Carlton/EIEIO & Company, Alexana Winery, Panther Creek Cellars, and Raptor Ridge Winery. She has now taken her experience and knowledge into a different aspect of the industry as chief operating officer of the Newberg Mail Room. Her main focus in this role is to cultivate and develop relationships with Oregon wineries and their guests. Play time includes cooking and the love of her life, Lana the black lab, who has the best ears ever.
