Vineyard duo set for WSU retiree meet

Colter’s Creek Winery and Vineyards owners Mike Pearson and Melissa Sanborn will be the Dec. 3 program of the Washington State University Retirees Association. They will discuss their wine operation and offer tastes to WSU retirees and friends at 1:30 p.m. in the Lewis Alumni Centre.

The company was established in 2007. Husband and wife Pearson and Sanborn found an abandoned vineyard while looking at potential vineyard sites in Idaho. Their goal is to apply their science backgrounds to grow high-quality grapes and to craft good, solid wines from the Lewis-Clark area.
