Mauritson Winemaker Dinner, March 29, 2017
A Passion for Winemaking
Winemaking may have been the logical evolution in our family’s long history of farming in the Dry Creek Valley, however, it took an absence from the valley and attention to those inner voices that led Clay Mauritson back to these same vineyards that he spent planting, tending and picking as a teen.

Côte Bonneville Winemaker Dinner February 1, 2017
We believe great wine is made in the vineyard. In 1992 Hugh and Kathy Shiels planted DuBrul Vineyard in the Yakima Valley of Washington State.
