Who We Are

Ross Andrew Mickel, Winemaker After graduating from the University of Washington in 1997, Ross spent time traveling the globe and its winemaking regions. Traveling through South America, Europe and South Africa introduced him to time proven as well as new winemaking perspectives that are all put to use in our cellars. Having worked for DeLille Cellars in Woodinville and Rosemount Estate in Australia, he spent 9 years as assistant winemaker for Bob and Cathy Betz at Betz Family Winery.  Alexandra J. Mickel, Line Item Veto Queen …or Dr. No.  Whatever title you choose to give her, she’s in charge.  Alexandra has a keen eye and ability to keep us headed in the right direction while entertaining our tangents and wild plans with a tight leash.  Sheila Nelson, Executive Culinary Director Sheila has been the chef behind all our events since our opening with the 1999 harvest. Her ability to craft both simple and masterful meals is second to none.  We consider her the MacGyver of the cooking world. Ned Nelson, Chief Design Officer and Encyclopedia Ned has been a commercial and residential architect for nearly 35 years. In addition to that he knows 8 out of 10 things, which is rather impressive.  At Ross Andrew Winery he is in charge of our flow controls and process design. His mechanical encryption skills are the driving force behind designing the only domestically manufactured commercial-grade basket press in the U.S (visit CarlsenAssociates.com). Galena, Sales Director Ok, so our Bernese Mountain Dog can’t work a cork screw or make deliveries, but she needed a title. Watch our Harvest 2008 video:
