David grew up in a small town in Eastern Oregon and Linda grew up in the Yakima Valley. Both wanted the small town life for their two sons Steven and Patrick. They also enjoyed a love of wine from touring the Oregon wine country over many years and, starting in the mid ‘80s, touring the Yakima Valley wine country. The desire for country life when coupled with their love of wine made for a perfect “escape from the big city (Seattle)” plan. In the winter of 1993 they moved onto the three acres. The following year they purchased a horse barn from a neighbor which is now Wineglass Cellars Winery and tasting room.
