Kristofer Chun

Broker/Owner, Kristofer Chun Real Estate

Kris’s family has been in real estate for more than 70 years. As investors, developers, property managers, and as commercial and residential Realtors, we have seen it all. In addition to the involvement with the family corporation’s business activities and holdings, Kris formed Kristofer Chun Real Estate to best serve his diverse group of clients.

Prior to joining the “family business,” he worked in marketing and advertising. Over 17 years, he was responsible for spending over $2,000,000,000 in media. With such high levels of spending came significant accountability. To maintain the integrity of the work, he has refined his skills in process management and negotiations.

By maintaining focus and strategy in chaotic environments, Kris solves problems and provides outstanding service to his clients.

Roger Asleson

Roger Asleson Family Winery Consulting

Roger Asleson had the great fortune to be in the right place at the right time—twice. He worked for Robert Mondavi for fourteen years and then for eighteen more at Opus One, Mr. Mondavi’s celebrated joint venture with Baron Philippe de Rothschild.

While at the Robert Mondavi Winery, Roger oversaw direct-to-consumer functions, managing wine education inside and outside the U.S.. Acting as a French-speaking interpreter for Chateau Mouton Rothschild’s vineyard manager, Roger helped lay out one of California’s first high-density vineyards for the future Opus One.

As a vice president at Opus One, Roger directed Opus One’s digital and direct marketing efforts and did early reconnaissance abroad, helping to open fine wine markets in which California-produced wines were a novelty.

Roger has served on several committees for the Oakville Winegrowers and for the Napa Valley Vintners, most recently as chair of the NVV’s Strategic Partnership Committee.

As a consultant, he now specializes in vineyard and winery acquisition, winery due diligence and valuation, management recruitment, brand name creation, operations set up, and price/value analysis of brands.
