Craig Mitchell, Export Director, Chateau Ste. Michelle, Washington State, USA
Washington is the second largest wine producing state in the USA. So it’s perhaps surprising that our Society has not had a tasting of Washington State wines in the past. We’ll put that right this month as we welcome Craig Mitchell, who is Regional Export Director for Chateau Ste. Michelle winery. The winery is the oldest in Washington State, initially named Ste. Michelle Vintners, but changed its name to Chateau Ste. Michelle in 1976 following the building of a French style chateau in Woodinville, just outside Seattle. The winery aims to build on old world winemaking traditions with new world innovation. There are two state-of-the-art wineries, one for red and one for white.
The tasting will predominantly feature wines from the Chateau Ste Michelle portfolio, plus a couple of joint ventures with other renowned producers.
