At age 19, Paul Portteus III began making beer on
his Lake Union houseboat. Then through his parents' efforts he soon developed
an interest in wine. This interest led to the Yakima Valley in 1980 where
the search for a vineyard site began. Paul and his wife Marilyn planted
their 47 acre vineyard in 1982 and their first Cabernet was produced from
the 1984 harvest. The winery is best known for its (red) Zinfandel and its
highly awarded Cabernet. Hours are noon to 5 pm daily, February 15 to December
1. |
