James Dann

Logistics & Inventory Control Coordinator

James Dann, known at Hester Creek as JD, was born in Calgary and raised in the Kootenays. As a young adult, he moved to Victoria where he began his career in the food and beverage industry as a front-of-house host. In 2003, JD took a position as the Estate Winery Portfolio Manager at a Victoria distributor where he filled glasses and pints across the province for 111 BC wineries and 12 craft breweries. As an expert in logistics, JD recalls, “It was the perfect combination of my passion for work, organization and efficiency, while still exploring and contributing to the estate wine and craft beer culture.” He brought this philosophy to Hester Creek in 2020 as our Logistics and Inventory Control Coordinator where he strives to ensure that your wines are on your table when you need them to be. When not exploring the endless backroads of BC, you can find him enjoying a glass of Old Vine Cabernet Franc and playing his vintage 69’ Gibson ripper bass guitar.
