MEET THE TEAM
GREGORY & MADIGAN AHN
PROPRIETORS, CEO & CEO
A recovering corporate refugee turned serial entrepreneur, Greg is living proof that you can graduate college with a degree in Poetry and still make a living. His superpower allows him to solve any small problem by creating a bigger one, usually in the form of a new venture. Luckily, the pandemic slowed him down enough to adopt a new mantra: Less but Better. We'll see if he can pull that off.

Recognizing that she could do twice the work in half the time, Madigan reluctantly came to Greg's rescue in 2015 and took charge of all administrative and human resources responsibilities across the wineries, restaurants, and other businesses, going from three kids to over 200 (employees). In 2023, the last of the Ahn children left the nest and Madigan significantly expanded her role and responsibilities. Becoming co-CEO of Folktale Group has been a blessing for the company and to everyone that had to deal with Greg on a daily basis. She is the heart and inspiration of Folktale...so this is all really her fault, not Greg's :-)
Raquel Clark
CFO
With an unhealthy love of numbers and an unstoppable spirit, Raquel keeps the stacks in order across Folktale's various businesses and projects.
Raquel first met Greg at Constellation Wines before she left to be the Director of Accounting for the next ten years at Talbott Vineyards. So, she knows a thing or two about wineries and colorful owners, which makes her perfect for her role controlling the creative minds at Folktale.

NAT WONG
WINEMAKER
He may look only 13 years old, but one conversation with Nat Wong, and you might wonder if he's not 1300 years old. Like many California winemakers, Nat is a graduate of UC Davis, but not in viticulture. Up until 2018, he was an accomplished aviculturalist (
HUNTER JEWETT
NATIONAL SALES DIRECTOR
Hunter Jewett, recruited into the wine industry out of Ole Miss, has been happily trapped in the beverage industry since 1997 and based out of Chicago, IL, with his wife, five kids (don’t ask), and his ever-faithful Vizsla, Sam. In addition to the Midwest, Hunter has spent significant time in the Florida and Texas markets. When not managing distributors, selling wine, carting kids around, fixing things around the house, doing yard work, cooking, or helping with homework, Hunter likes swimming, biking, and running (three Ironman’s completed). Hunter is an avid fly fisher and bow hunter. On fall days, he dreams of being in the woods hunting huge Illinois White Tails from his deer stand. In the spring, he dreams of standing in the cold rivers of Michigan casting feathers on big Steelhead. Did we mention he has five kids?!
