Don Corson is the winemaker at Camaraderie Cellars, the winery he began with his wife Vicki, in 1992. Starting out with 100 pounds of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes in 1981 just to have fun with friends who also liked food and wine, the one year experiment turned into a passion that could only have one outcome – a commercial winery.Over the last decade Camaraderie wines have emerged as great examples of what Washington fruit can offer. With grapes from Fred Artz on Red Mountain, Paul Champoux at Mercer Ranch, Butch Millbrandt on the Walluke Slope and Len Parris at Chandler Reach, Camaraderie wines are full flavored and fruit driven. Multiple major international wine competition medals and an increasing number of wines rated in the 90’s validate Don’s vision and passion for wine making excellence.
