Keri Otte

Keri Otte is the Production Winemaker at Napa Wine Co., where she oversees the daily production schedule and handles client communications. In 2026, she also assumed the role of Winemaker at Oakville Winery. Keri developed her passion for wine at her first job out of college, working as a lab tech at a custom crush facility. Sixteen years later, after raising her children, she decided to seriously pursue a career in winemaking, climbing the ranks at different wineries from enologist to assistant winemaker to winemaker, all while taking classes at Napa Valley College and UC Davis. In 2021, Keri moved to Napa Valley full time and found her “dream jobs” at Napa Wine Company and Oakville Winery. She’s a member of Women for WineSense, where she’s working to build a strong community of women winemakers, and enjoys hiking,  gardening, cooking and drinking Old World wines in her spare time.
