My name is Ray Curtis, and I am the owner and winemaker for the Northwest Mountain Winery. My history with wine goes back 30 years ago to a small family winery in central Ohio called Shawnee Vineyards. I worked at Shawnee Vineyards for several years as a teenager in the vineyards, in the cellar, bottling, labeling, racking, and any other job they could find for me. Since that time, I have never lost my love of the art of making a fine wine. In 2002 I moved to the Pacific Northwest.
