Molly Monson-Stutesman of Goose Ridge on Generations of Washington Farming

JJ Williams of Kiona on Red Mountain & Washington’s One Voice One Voice

JJ Williams of Kiona on Red Mountain & Washington’s One Voice

In 1975, his grandparents planted a vineyard in the middle of nowhere. It became Red Mountain. JJ Williams grew up in a double-wide trailer with vines ten steps from the front door, and today Kiona farms 270 acres with no investors, no hedge fund and no debt. He talks wine math, Ice Age floods, and why Red Mountain fruit never needs turning up to 11.

One Voice: Mark Ryan Winery Founder Mark McNeilly

From a couple hundred cases in a friend's garage to the 11th largest winery in Washington state, Mark Ryan McNeilly built his label on own-rooted vines, long hauls east over the mountains, and a stubbornly hands-on approach. The founder of Mark Ryan Winery talks Dead Horse, Cornas, and the night a premium Napa Cab met a plate of pizza rolls.

Gilles Nicault on Nine Hats and the One Voice of Washington Wine One Voice

Gilles Nicault on Nine Hats and the One Voice of Washington Wine

Eight inches of rain a year, sagebrush and rattlesnakes: that is the wine country Gilles Nicault found when he arrived from France more than 30 years ago. Today he makes the Long Shadows wines and their second label, Nine Hats. He talks fractured basalt, the Missoula floods, and a camaraderie between wineries he never saw back home.

One Voice: L’Ecole № 41 a Walla Walla Family-Owned Legacy

Established in 1983 by Jean and Baker Ferguson, L’Ecole № 41 stands as one of the pillars of the Walla Walla Valley. Originally envisioned as a retirement project, it was only the third winery founded in the region. Today, the third-generation, family-owned estate operates out of the historic Frenchtown School, an iconic building that remains the centerpiece of the winery’s identity and label.

One Voice: Hedges Family Estate, Sarah Hedges-Goedhart & Christophe Hedges One Voice

One Voice: Hedges Family Estate, Sarah Hedges-Goedhart & Christophe Hedges

Hedges Family Estate began with parents who once sold bananas and potatoes, brokering West Coast wine to the same export clients. Now siblings Sarah Hedges-Goedhart and Christophe Hedges run the family's Red Mountain estate. They talk native fermentation with no UC Davis degree, scores that miss the point, and wine that tastes like the land, not Welch's.
