About UsAfter many years in the high-tech industry we never dreamed we would take our passion for wine to create William Church Winery. But when Rod left the corporate world in 2004 we decided to take our garage based winemaking efforts to a higher level to produce premium wines that he could share with others who love wine as much as we do. As Seattle natives (and WSU Cougars) we started to look into where to establish a winery and were happy to find a booming wine industry practically in our backyard in Woodinville, Washington. We then consulted with Matthew Loso of Matthews Cellars among others to ensure we were using top quality commercial wine making practices and products. Then in 2005 after choosing the name William Church based on Rod's father's name and Leslie's father's middle name (see sidebar) our adventure began. |
