Eric Severson serves as General Manager of Hook & Ladder Winery, carrying forward the legacy his uncle Clint helped build alongside the DeLoach family. A graduate of New York University, Eric brings a unique blend of international business experience and deep family roots to his role. After holding various sales and management positions in Europe and Asia, Eric returned home to join Hook & Ladder in January 2020. As General Manager, Eric works with the team to define and implement the winery’s strategy for long-term success and sustainability; and he especially enjoys getting to know customers at wine club pickup parties and other events. He is particularly partial to Hook & Ladder’s Off-Dry Severson Vineyard Gewürztraminer.
