Dear Wine Enthusiast,
As another summer of great concerts is slowly drawing to a close, our winemaking team is gearing up for harvest. This fall's harvest marks an important milestone: our 40th year of Washington winemaking! Although our roots date back more than 70 years, it was 40 years ago that we began producing a line of premium vinifera wines under the direction of legendary California winemaker and consultant Andre Tchelistcheff. Those wines marked the beginning of the Chateau Ste. Michelle wines you enjoy today.
To celebrate this important milestone, we're throwing a party! We've also got some exciting dinners at local restaurants that you won't want to miss. Read on for event and dinner details below.
Sincerely,
Chateau Ste. Michelle Guest Services
P.S. If you can't make it out to see us but you're looking for a wine to complete your own special celebration visit our online wine shop to find the perfect bottle or two.
