Joel Quigley

Joel Quigley’s 30+ years of experience in wine and entertainment began with nine years as Executive Director of Wine Brats, an organization founded by Jeff Bundschu of Gundlach-Bundschu Winery, Mike Sangiacomo of Sangiacomo Vineyards, and Jon Sebastiani of the former Viansa Winery. Here, Quigley pioneered social media, producing multi-media national tours, while demystifying wine for young adults. The organization’s core strategy was to bring wine to American popular culture, which succeeded in growing the non-profit into the world’s largest wine consumer organization.

Today, Quigley has stepped into the role of Director of Business Development & National Activations at Somerston Estate & Priest Ranch in Napa Valley. His mission is to work with the team to grow the company’s business, increase revenue, and build the company’s wine brands across the United States.
