A Legacy Rooted in Family
Brooks Wine is a living tribute to founder Jimi Brooks, whose passion for farming, community, and purposeful winemaking shaped every vine and value we carry forward today. When Jimi passed unexpectedly in 2004, his eight-year-old son, Pascal, became the youngest winery owner in the country. But the story didn’t end there.
A devoted group of friends and winemakers stepped in to make Jimi’s final vintage, and Jimi’s sister, Janie Brooks Heuck, took over leadership, volunteering her time to protect her brother’s legacy and preserve the dream he left behind. Over the years, Janie, Pascal, and the extended Brooks team have transformed that promise into one of the most heartfelt and respected stories in American wine.
To this day, Brooks remains proudly family-owned and fiercely independent. Every bottle we make is part of a greater story—one of resilience, love, and community.
Powered by Purpose. Led by Women.
From the very beginning, Brooks has been a place where care, inclusivity, and kindness are the way of doing business. Today, that ethos is brought to life by an extraordinary team of women leading the way across the winery.
At the forefront is Janie Brooks Heuck, Managing Director and the heart behind Brooks’ continued growth and vision. Her leadership—alongside that of Claire Jarreau (Winemaker), Jen Cossey (General Manager), Doug Rankin (Director of Hospitality & Wine Club), Heather Kirk (Director of Shipping & Compliance, and Shannon Mayhew (Director of Estate Sustainability)—has made Brooks one of the most admired wineries in the Willamette Valley.
More than 75% of Brooks’ managerial team identifies as women. Their leadership reflects our ongoing commitment to equity, sustainability, and showing what’s possible when purpose meets intention.
