Et Fille

Et Fille was founded by father and daughter team, Howard Mozeico and Jessica Mozeico. Howard began making wine in his garage in 1984 as a hobby while he was a software engineer at four startup technology companies. His passion was ignited and he took enology classes, won amateur winemaking competitions, and helped local winemakers.

Jessica grew up helping her dad with his winemaking hobby. She fell in love with wine, though it was a passion she cultivated from the sidelines as she pursued an undergraduate degree from Hamilton College, an MBA from Wharton at the University of Pennsylvania, and a career in biotechnology marketing. After leading biotechnology drug launches and marketing teams, Jessica founded a consulting firm to provide strategic planning services.

However, the opportunity to make wine together caused both to throw in their corporate ID badges. They ran the winery together until Howard's death in 2017. Jessica learned everything about winemaking from her dad and is inspired by her late father's legacy and daughter's future. She says, "I have the honor and responsibility to carry Et Fille forward in a manner that is consistent with my dad's vision, values, and palate. I will continue building the legacy of Et Fille for my daughter."
