STEPHANIE JONESwinemaker
Her love of wine started while stationed onboard a U.S. Navy guided missile destroyer on deployment in the Mediterranean. Learning to appreciate the wines of Spain, France, Italy and Portugal while on shore leave was the first chapter in a life-long love affair of wine. With an unconventional start to the world of wine, she furthered her education through the WSU wine program. In 2015, she pursued her dream to open a winery in Washington State. By combining her two greatest passions, outdoor adventure and Washington wine, Stephanie strives to create an experience that helps others appreciate the great things this region has to offer.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A VEGETARIAN WINERY?
We love animals, just not in our wine!
Animal by-products such as beef gelatin, fish bladders, and eggs are frequently used to heat stabilize and clarify wines. Instead, we minimize the use of stabilizers and if needed use animal-friendly substitutes such as bentonite clay. As such, if you keep our wine in a hot car, it may get cloudy. But we think that is an acceptable trade-off, and who keeps wine in a hot car anyway? Pairing wine with vegetarian fare is also a fun way to expand your palate, we’d love to hear your favorites. Cheers to animals!
