Established in 2014 by owner and winemaker Brad Binko. Brad grew up in Buffalo, NY and spent time at Northeastern University, University at Buffalo, and the WWCC Enology and Viticulture program which he is a graduate of. He is a certified sommelier and ran fine dining wine programs in Charleston, SC before moving to Walla Walla to follow his dreams of making wine. As a sommelier he has tasted around the Washington AVAs and found certain areas that express the place and varietals to the fullest. This is the vision behind the Drink Washington State label, to take you on a tasting around Washington with out ever leaving your seat.
Washington Winemaker of the year for 2025!
