Marlies Jakob, Managing Director and CEO of The Peppered Grape has had a long-standing passion for wine, aviation, and dogs. Her passion for wine was sparked after taking an oenology course in her 20’s, yet she continued on with earning a MScTech, and has spent a fulfilling career working as an airline pilot.
