A Prosser native, Jarrod Boyle learned viticulture and winemaking while working with Washington wine pioneers Dr. Wade Wolfe of Thurston Wolfe and the Hogue family of Hogue Cellars.
As head viticulturist and winemaker of Alexandria Nicole, Jarrod Boyle credits Dr. Wolfe, Dave Minnick of Willow Crest Winery and Ray McKee of Covey Run Winery with guiding him during his early winemaking work.
