PRODUCER_BIO: Frichette Winery Red Mountain, Washington Husband & wife run winery making wines he loves and wine experiences she dreams of. Their expression of flavorful and smooth red wines and "be in the moment" vibes carry through in every sip of wine and in every second of delightfulness in the winery. Greg is from Pasco, Shea from South Carolina. Both were living in Southern California when they met, married, and had their son Jayden. They wanted to move closer to family in either South Carolina or Washington. With a flip of a coin, the coin toss determined they would relocate to Washington. Both agreed when they moved, they wanted to create a business that would give them goosebumps. With a little research and cheerleading from friends, they decided to go into wine, opening their tasting room in 2013 and offering their first vintage of 2011 with 650 cases of wine. Today, Greg and Shea produce nearly 3000 cases and enjoy hosting events for wine club members and guests from all over the world.
