During her years studying at Portland State, Jaime became educated in the world of wine through her experience in the restaurant industry. In 2008 she moved to Yakima, and her passion for the wine industry grew. Jaime and her husband Byron became good friends with James and his wife, Colleen, after being introduced by mutual friends. In 2013, Borton and Son’s purchased an orchard with a small vineyard on it in Zillah, and since then Jaime has worked with James to make wine for the Borton family business. Jaime purchased the Wickersham vineyard in 2015 with hopes of producing exceptional Cabernet Savignon and Cabernet Franc. In 2016 Jaime partnered with James to form GFW, LLC and produced their first award winning Chardonnay.
