Queen Anne Winery

About Us

Queen anne winery started as an antidote for the rising price of piedmont and california wines. Twenty years ago i realized i was living in an area with great grape growing potential, why not take advantage of this and start making my own wine? My father and i had been making small batches as in 20 gallons a year in carboys. However, to acquire the quality of grape i was looking for from vineyard farmer's such as paul champoux and paul portteus i had to buy at minimum 1,000 pounds, in order to store this i needed to buy a barrel. And so, 17 years later i have just released my 2004 cabernet sauvignon, merlot and syrah. The 2005 wines are ready to be released as well and i have added a sangiovese.

Currently, i have 30 barrels, still a very small winery, but this allows me to tend to each variety therefore creating a very specialized wine. All this happens from our home on top of queen anne hill in seattlewashington.

Making wine has been a learning and humbling experience, but to be creating and drinking a quality and outstanding wine that has been made by my own hand has been incredible.
