About JAQK Cellars:
Based in San Francisco, JAQK Cellars is dedicated to creating distinctive wines in creative packaging. The company released its first vintage in 2008 after JAQK Cellars co-founding team Joel Templin and Katie Jain of HATCH, an award winning design firm that wanted to explore the world of wine, partnered with acclaimed Napa Valley winemaker, Craig MacLean. Serving as JAQK Cellars' co-founder and winemaker, MacLean earned his master's degree in Enology from U.C. Davis.
MacLean's detailed winemaking history began with apprenticeships at Chappellet and Markham, before he crafted wines for Cain Vineyard and Winery as well as Spring Mountain Vineyard. He then authored Kelham-MacLean Wines. Craig has served as independent winemaker for a host of vineyards, including Ahnfeldt, Vito Bialla, Brookdale, Ilsley and Juslyn. The three friends hold a shared belief in the importance of getting together and enjoying each other's company, agreeing that a bottle (or two) of great wine can be quite helpful in that regard.
