Thirteen employees will lost their jobs at the Sonoma production facility, Jackson Family Wines told California in a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notice. 

The site “served as overflow production capacity and was not tied to any specific brand” and had “become underutilized,” prompting consolidation, Jackson Family Wines communications director Sean Carrol told the [San Francisco Chronicle](https://www.sfchronicle.com/food/wine/article/jackson-family-wines-layoffs-21938811.php?ref=bevnews.net). The Chronicle also notes that Jackson Family, owner of Kendall‑Jackson and about 40 other labels, turns out around 6 million cases a year, according to industry estimates.

It's the latest in a series of winery closings and other actions reflecting the strain the wine business is currently under.
