Mauritson Winemaker Dinner, March 29, 2017

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. The steep south-facing hillside yields grapes with unique flavors and structure. In 2001 we founded Côte Bonneville to produce classically styled wines that best express our spectacular site. Kerry, our winemaker, creates beautiful wines from all our varietals, showcasing each terroir.
