Y.E.S. & the Central Washington State Fair We have had a very good response to the first ever collaboration between

the Yakima Enological Society (Y.E.S.), The Walter Clore Wine and Culinary Center, and The Central Washington State Fair Association to further the appreciation and understanding of the Washington state wine industry. However, we still have a few holes we could fill, so if you have an evening available, please let us know.

Yakima Enological Society — September 2017 Page 2

President’s Corner September 2017 Congratulations to Chris Peterson, son of Y.E.S. members Rod and

Denise Peterson, on being named 2017 Winemaker of the Year. Chris was in the first Enology and Viticulture Program at Walla Walla Community College developed by the late Stan Clarke in 2003. Chris began his career at DeLille Cellars, eventually advancing to the role of production winemaker. He left DeLille in 2011 to start Woodinville-based Avennia with Marty Taucher. Former NFL quarterbacks Damon Huard and Dan Marino chose Chris as their winemaker when they started their Passing Time Winery in 2012. Chris thinks “it’s only the beginning” for Washington state wines.

— Cheryl Probasco, Y.E.S. President
