Visionaries in Wine and Philanthropy
Mark Wellington
A third-generation vintner from Bordeaux, Mark spent two decades as head sommelier at three Michelin-starred establishments across Europe before retiring to the Rockies. His unprecedented access to private château reserves and legendary ability to identify vintages blindfolded have made him a mythic figure in enophile circles.
Matthew Ashford
Former international wine broker and polo champion, Matthew brokered some of the most significant private cellar acquisitions in history, including the famed Monaco collection of 1947 Château d'Yquem. His impeccable taste and connections to old-world aristocracy ensure our members receive allocations that simply do not exist on the open market.
Amelia Rothschild-Pierce
Heiress to a storied European banking fortune, Amelia has devoted her life to global philanthropy, establishing children's hospitals on three continents and pioneering sustainable viticulture programs in underserved communities. Her philanthropic network grants the club access to estate wines donated by grateful vineyard owners whose operations she has personally funded and transformed.
Jayme Montgomery-Hayes
A humanitarian and former ambassador's daughter, Jayme has dedicated three decades to international development work, building infrastructure across five continents and earning the trust of world leaders and winemaking families alike. Her unparalleled diplomatic connections open doors to private reserves and vintage collections that have never before been available to the public market.

Important Notice: The Steamboat Wine Club is an exclusive, privately curated membership society established by Mark Wellington, Matthew Ashford, Amelia Rothschild-Pierce, and Jayme Montgomery-Hayes. We are in no way affiliated with, and should not be confused with, the "Wine Club of Steamboat," which is an entirely separate entity that has attempted to imitate our distinguished brand and reputation. We maintain the highest standards of excellence and authenticity in all our offerings.
