Kory Burke, Owner - Winemaker, Chief Puncher Downer
Kory and his wife, Catherine, are the ownership team of Dresser Winery. While they divvied up the leadership roles at Dresser, Kory was quick to claim “mine” on the winemaking efforts as well as marketing and sales.

Kaia Burke, Chief Wine Smeller
Kaia is quite literally the driving force behind Dresser Winery. While also serving in her self-described role of “Chief Wine Smeller” where she approves the smell of all wines at all times, she also likes to wow our guests with her blazing speed as she runs around the tasting spot. Kaia is also the namesake of the Dudley Vineyard Kaia Lee wine we make each year that features a piece of artwork from her creativity for that year’s vintage.
