Our wines are robust and fruit-forward, yet food-friendly. Extended aging in new French Taransaud oak barrels gives them genteel polish. They’re long on the palate, elegant in texture, and multidimensional in the glass. They’re delicious now, but will also age gracefully for another 10 to 15 years. Cue the fruit!

Not really. It would be a completely different operation. I have thought about maybe partnering with a winemaker friend from Napa to work with my winemaker Dan Wampfleron a white. He would come in and collaborate on that. He’s a friend as well. So far I haven’t really broached it with him yet, but it’s in my mind. That’s percolating a bit. It would...
I continue to work with different distributors around the country, so I’ve got a wonderful liaison who handles all that. I’m in about 17 states as well as the U.K. in London, and also in Japan.I’ve got outposts all over the place that need attention and love and Zoom chats, so that takes up some time. Then there’s the marketing side of things where...
I drink a lot of my wine to be honest! In fact, I pulled out a rose from my cellar and said, ‘I have to have some more sent down!’ Everything I make is in eastern Washington, in Walla Walla, and I have a distribution network there. They’ll package up a couple cases for me and ship them down.
What I’m drinking the most of is Twin Bear, which I just released this year. It’s now available on the website. It’s the most expensive one that I’ve made. It’s 100% Cabernet. It’s three vineyards but one dominant vineyard, very beautiful aging with the French oak barrels. I just got a nice email from my brand manager saying that Robert Parker just...
You know, I think so. My son is 12. I don’t know if this is something he might take over, because you start thinking about those things, but I’m enjoying it at the moment and it’s completely mine. I don’t have any investors. I finance everything. I’ve got a lot of loans from the banks, but my idea is to build the brand the way I want to build it an...
I do a bit of everything. We definitely have wine with meals. I’ll have a drink while I’m making dinner, or with dinner. It’s all made to combine with food, whether you’re preparing or eating, is when the wine is definitely flowing. I have a hard time drinking during the day because I just get tired. Once in a while if I have nothing going on, I’ll...
Between that, being a father to my 12-year-old, who is entering into a very interesting period of time with Zoom schooling, it’s really challenging, but it’s nice having him home for most of the day as opposed to at school. I’m not sure how he feels about it, but I’m enjoying it.
Just that I’m loving the journey, that I’m loving sharing it with people. It’s really about my personality. I tend to be sort of playful and appear not to take things too seriously and poke fun at things. It’s the same thing with the wine. It’s playful and fun, but it’s also serious. I’m very serious about the wine, and looking to create the best t...
Time with my son is really a great luxury, doing something we both love whether it’s digging a hole in the sand. He’s 12, but we’ve gone from digging holes in the sand to wanting to build a whole underground fort. Anything where he’s engaged. It could even just be cooking in the kitchen. To be honest, that’s been part of my experience during the qu...
