Charles Smith Wine
Growing up just outside of
Sacramento, California, in
the foothills of the Sierra
Nevada Mountains, Charles
Smith began craving worldly
travel at a young age due to
his Welsh mother and French
father. As soon as he had the
chance, Charles decided to
move to Denmark (for a “hot
piece of a**” i.e. a lady
friend he met in the states).
While in Scandinavia, Charles
spent the next nine years
managing rock bands and
concert tours throughout
Europe, including the famed
Danish duo, The Ravonettes.
Wining and dining while on
the road became a catalyst
for his passion of wine, which
ultimately triggered the
career he has today.
In 1999, he moved back to
the United States,
specifically to the Pacific
Northwest, opening a wine
shop on Bainbridge Island,
just across the Puget Sound
from downtown Seattle. On a
road trip in late 1999, he
passed through the small
town of Walla Walla and met
a young Frenchman and
winemaker. The two men
discovered their common
passion for great Syrah and
Charles was eventually
convinced to move to Walla
Walla and make his own
juice. In 2001, Charles
released 330 cases of his
first wine, the 1999 K Syrah.
The Walla Walla Valley was
now his home.
After a devastating freeze in
2004, Charles brought to life
a label he had once in a
dream: House Wine. Low and
behold, the label concept had
never been created or
trademarked, so Charles
launched the legendary
brand before selling it to
Precept Brands in 2006. That
same year, Charles started a
second brand, Charles Smith
Wines. The brand was
themed as “The Modernist
Project,” which focuses on
the way people generally
consume wine today:
immediately. The intent was
(and still is) to create wines
to be enjoyed now, but with
true typicity of both the
varietal and the vineyard.
A self-taught winemaker,
Charles is a true artisan and
a pioneer in the wine world.
In 2008, K Vintners was
recognized by Wine & Spirits
magazine as one of the “Best
New Wineries of the Last Ten
Years,” and as “Winery of the
Year” in their annual buying
guide. In 2009 Food & Wine
magazine awarded
Charles “Winemaker of the
Year” and in 2010 Seattle
Magazine recognized Charles
as their “Winemaker of the
Year.” |
