Team

An ambitious and fearless leader, Allen boldly moved the Lombardis from New Jersey to California to pursue their dream of a family wine business. Now, he’s the new Italian in Lodi, charting his own course.

A California native, Noel has nearly two decades of experience with grape varietals and oak character, working for both large and small wineries. A magician or perfectionist when it comes to blending, aging and fining? We say both!

Amy had her career calling in high school when her eyes were opened to agriculture’s endless impacts on our world. Now, she’s making her own contributions to the industry, ensuring the complicated logistics of running a winery look smooth.  

John is well versed in wine sales, having spent time on both the distributorship and producer sides. He’s fair and honest and knows the rules. And in his spare time, he uses these same skills to referee high school basketball games.

Between his time in the Air Force and time selling wine internationally, Steve has some impressive mileage logged, and even more impressive lessons on international trade and regional cuisine.

Dan brings diverse collection of professional experience and having worked in a multitude of customer management avenues. From National Brands to Private Label, Dan has seen it all and brings a unique perspective to the team.

Natalie grew up in Paradise, CA and attended CSU Chico. She's been excelling in the adult beverage industry since 2004 when she started with Bacardi USA. In her free time, she enjoys Jeep off roading in the rugged landscapes of Southern California. 

AJ has grown up around entrepreneurialism, critical analysis and Lombardi stamina. He brings these skills plus on-the-floor wine production experience to the Hook Or Crook family.
