Our 2026 Honorary Grower, Luanne Holden-Boushey, was on Hot Stove Society last weekend! 🍾

As an industry pioneer, Luanne has no shortage of stories from the early days of Washington wine. In 1978, she and her husband planted an experimental block, learning every hard lesson without data to guide them. Decades later, Luanne doubles down on the importance of trusting in your mission through the turmoil (and the importance of getting tickets to Winemaker Picnic!)
