About us
Thank you for showing interest in our winery. Wind Rose Cellars is a joint project of husband and wife team David Volmut and Jennifer States. We began making wine professionally with the 2009 Harvest.
Wind Rose Cellars aspires to be Pacific Northwest’s premier winery for producing Italian style wines. We produce small lots of hand crafted wines from select vineyards in eastern Washington. For white wines, we produce Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Orange Muscat, and a dry rosé we called Rosato. For red wines, we produce Barbera, Primitivo, Dolcetto, Nebbiolo, Sangiovese, Cab Sauv, Malbec, Tempranillo, Grenache, Cab Franc, Petit Verdot, and Carménère. Many of these varieties are very difficult to find in Washington. The Primitivo, Dolcetto, and Nebbiolo are very rare, with around 10 acres total. From the varieties we make, many are around 120 cases per lot, with a total production of around 1000 cases.
Food has always been a passion for us and we regard wine as the penultimate food. Over the past few years, we’ve made a couple of trips to Italy–particularly Piedmont and Sicily–to try the wines, taste the food and experience the rustic Old Country. We try and convey this Old Country character in our wines.
As a husband and wife team, we work on crafting our blended Italian style wines towards balance and perfection. We hope you enjoy!

We began making wine with the 2009 vintage. During the 2009 vintage, we made wine at Olsen Estates winery in Prosser, Washington. As the assistant winemaker, David was allowed to make wine for Wind Rose Cellars in addition to his regular duties. In 2010, we made wine while working at Sun River Vintners in Kennewick, Washington. Here are some pictures from those Crushes.
