Wine Merchant since 1989

Chatter Creek Winery proprietor and Winemaker "Gordy" Rawson was looking for a sense of security when he made the jump from musician and sound engineer to wine delivery driver in his home town of Seattle. One thing led to another and his nose eventually landed him the Cellar master job working for David Lake at Columbia Winery. A self-taught winemaker with a sensational palate, Rawson is content to build his own winery one barrel at a time with an eye on the long haul.

What Gordy lacked in financial backing he made up for in tenacity, intelligence and grass roots networking, and after ten years making wine commercially, he recently opened his small Woodinville winery and tasting room. Finally out of his Seattle garage, his production is now up to about 2,000 cases annually and slowly climbing. So is his reputation for hand crafted wines which capture Washington State terroir from a true local's point of view.
