Who is winemaker Joy Andersen?
A Washington wine industry veteran, Joy Andersen began making wines nearly 20 years ago. She took over the reins at Snoqualmie in 1991, and under her leadership, Snoqualmie has consistently produced approachable, food-friendly wines. Andersen is particularly adept at working with vineyard managers to cultivate each varietal to optimum expression. Come harvest Andersen is so intimately familiar with each varietal’s flavor profile that she already has conceived how she will showcase these flavors in the finished wine.
