Abel Lopez

Originally from Puebla, Mexico, Abel has been working at Channing Daughters since 1996. He and his wife, Jacoba Bonilla, met, got married, and raised their three children here.

Abel is the master of the vineyard. He and his team work year-round tending our 28 acres of vines. They know every inch of the property and have a deep knowledge of the land and grapes. Abel oversees the harvest and works alongside our winemaker Christopher Tracy to hand pick, press and bottle every vintage.

Abel loves living and working on the East End and is a proud resident of Sag Harbor. When Abel isn't at work, he likes to spend time with his wife and kids, Jon, Shayla and Max. He enjoys living close to the beach. In the summertime, he can be found fishing for bluefish and striped bass or playing soccer.
