Eugene, Ore.—King Estate promoted three members of its winemaking staff: Brent Stone to head winemaker; Barrett Rosteck to associate winemaker; and Andrew Belzer to assistant winemaker. Stone began at King Estate as laboratory manager in 2011 and most recently held the position of winemaker. Rosteck joined the winery in 2013 and worked as cellar master and assistant winemaker before his promotion to associate winemaker. Belzer, who joined the team in 2014, was formerly King Estate’s enologist before being promoted to associate winemaker. "One of the things that distinguishes King Estate is our deep bench of talent that allows us to promote from within," says Ray Nuclo, Director of Viticulture and Winery Operations, in the winery’s press release announcing the news. "This is an exceptional team, and I can't wait to see the wines they produce."
