Our People

Maggie Cameron
Wine Society Coordinator

Maggie Cameron joined JUSTIN Vineyards & Winery in the fall of 2007. In her previous position as Dining Room Manager at the Capital Grille in Boston, Massachusetts, Maggie developed a strong interest in fine wine. Being familiar with JUSTIN wines from her time in the restaurant industry, it was natural for her to explore a career in the wine industry in Paso Robles at JUSTIN. In her free time, Maggie loves going on wine tasting trips and experimenting in the kitchen.

Rachelle Ruggeri
Assistant Manager, Wine Society

Rachelle grew up in Southern California on the beautiful Palos Verdes Peninsula until Cal Poly San Luis Obispo brought her to the Central Coast. Throughout the process of completing her Bachelor's Degree in Agribusiness with a concentration in Marketing, she emphasized her studies in organic and sustainable agriculture, abiding by Cal Poly's motto, "learn by doing." These experiences only confirmed her passion and desire to be part of the world of viticulture. Prior to working at JUSTIN, Rachelle worked as a tasting room hostess.

Rachelle currently lives in Morro Bay and enjoys spending her free time at the beach, hiking, cooking, wine tasting, painting, and playing with her bunny, Peter. Rachelle says she is ecstatic to be part of the JUSTIN team.
