Jess Zander, General Manager at Fidelitas, loves to sell wine. She began her professional life in education, taking wine classes for fun before realizing that working with children wasn’t nearly as fun as wine, and switched industries. Jess continued her studies with the International Sommelier Guild and, after a brief stint in fine dining, started working with Fidelitas in 2008. Her first focus was on the Fidelitas Wine Club and Direct to Consumer Sales. As the business grew, so did her roll, and Jess accepted the General Manager position in 2014. A Seattle-native, Jess makes the Rainy City her home with her husband and two daughters, while traveling frequently to sunnier Red Mountain. She loves the integration of work and home life that comes with small business, and is often seen with a kid in tow in the cellar or vineyard. Jess enjoys cooking and entertaining at home, and will escape on a mini-vacation whenever possible.

Allie Hager is our Red Mountain Tasting Room Manager and Wine Club Coordinator. She began working at Fidelitas in 2019 after graduating from the Wine and Beverage Business Management Program at Washington State University and completing her Level 1 Sommelier certification through the Court of Master Sommeliers. She grew up in Richland, Washington, just a stones' throw from the world class wine region we call home. When she is not selling wine, Allie is usually visiting neighboring wine regions, cooking a new recipe, or spending time with family. She loves working for a small business and being able to create unforgettable experiences for guests.
