Evan Rose

The wine bug bit Evan as a teenager when he started working in vineyards in the Ohio River Valley outside Cincinnati. That early exposure lead him to study Botany and Molecular Biology at Miami University. From there, Evanworked harvest at Adelsheim Vineyard and then spent the next four vintages as Assistant Winemaker at Meier’s Wine Cellars in Ohio, all the while Oregon was calling to him. Crazing some international experience, he went down under to work a harvest at Craggy Range in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand, before finally making it back to Oregon in 2016. Working with both Anne Amie and Paul O’Brien Winery, Evan knew he wanted to spend the rest of his career in the North Willamette Valley. In 2019 his dream came true when he joined the passionate Stoller winemaking team as assistant Winemaker for the Reserve program, taking over the Reserve Winemaker helm in 2023.  Evan is a big wine geek at heart, and he’s fortunate that his hobby is also his profession.
