Jen Iglehart brings passion and hospitality to everything she does, and her newest venture is no exception. Having lived in the Coachella Valley since childhood, Jen has a deep appreciation for the desert community and a knack for creating meaningful connections. Before becoming a top real estate agent specializing in luxury properties in the Coachella Valley with Coldwell Banker, Jen spent 21 years as a corporate trainer with Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse, where she perfected the art of delivering exceptional hospitality. These experiences have shaped her attention to detail and commitment to excellence, which she now brings to curating unforgettable cheese experiences as well as successfully representing sellers and buyers of real estate in South Palm Desert and beyond.

Bob Iglehart is a man of many talents and a lifelong learner. As a Certified Financial Planner and founder of iHart Retirement Income Strategies, Bob has spent over 35 years helping families and business owners navigate their financial journeys. Alongside his full-time career in wealth management, Bob is part of Jen’s real estate group and manages the business aspects of the Wine & Cheese Shop in his spare time.

While both Jen and Bob remain fully dedicated to their thriving careers, they launched their cheese shop as a passion project, inspired by their love of seasonal and exclusive foods, community, and shared experiences. Their new venture reflects their commitment to enriching the lives of others, whether through real estate, financial planning, or sharing the joy of fine cheeses.

And then there’s Winston, the couple’s beloved 10-year-old Goldendoodle and honorary "Cheese & Wine Ambassador." Winston has a soft spot for meeting new friends (both human and furry) and greets customers with a wagging tail and playful spirit. Known for his love of gourmet treats – from Mortadella to Jamon Imberico – Winston is a customer favorite.

For Jen and Bob, the cheese shop is more than just a business; it’s a way to share their passions and create a welcoming space for the community. Whether you’re a lifelong cheese enthusiast or new to the world of artisan selections, they can’t wait to welcome you into their store and share the joy of great cheese and hospitality.
