Speaker Bio
David has more than 22 years of winery experience in California, Oregon, Australia, New Zealand, and Washington state.
In 2001, after graduating from the University of Puget Sound with a degree in Marine biology, David got his start with Robert Mondavi Winery in Napa as a harvest lab intern. After an incredible experience in Napa, David returned to Washington and joined Chateau Ste. Michelle as a lab technician through 2006. Realizing winemaking was his true passion and wanting to gain more experience, David took winemaking internships with Zilzie Wines in Victoria, Australia and then with Domaine Serene in Dayton, Oregon.
In 2007, David rejoined Chateau Ste. Michelle as white wine enologist and over the next several years he was promoted several times, ultimately taking on the role of Head White Winemaker in 2015. As Head White winemaker, David continued the storied tradition of exceptional winemaking overseeing 3 million cases of annual production and adding to an extensive list of high scoring wines and accolades.
In 2023 David founded Partnership Wine Consulting and has quickly built a roster of clients composed of some of Washington’s most iconic wineries. Without compromise David helps wineries craft small-lot, ultra-premium wines as well as larger nationally distributed wines.
