Hands wine maker Keith Kenison has been making wines in the State of Washington
for more than 15 years. His interest in winemaking brought him to the
Horse Heaven Hills region,
and in 1992 he started with the Ste. Michelle Wine Estates facility in
Grandview as a cellar worker. There, he was fortunate enough to learn and
observe firsthand the art of winemaking. In 1997, Keith moved to
Columbia Crest Winery, and was promoted as a quality assurance
technician. His talents were quickly
recognized, and he was promoted to enologist first and then on to assistant winemaker in 2002.
After working on the Columbia Crest portfolio, Keith "took
the reins" of 14 Hands winery starting with the 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon
and Merlot which were the first releases of the program.
