Keystone Cellars is a “micro” winery, located in Entiat, Washington at Keystone Ranch. The winery is owned by Dale Foreman and Jim Porter. Dale and Jim met in 1965 when they were in high school in Seattle. Later, they were college roommates in Boston. After long careers as lawyers, Dale and Jim decided to make wine as a hobby. The first vintage was 2010 and was made with purchased grapes. Keystone was encouraged by winning the blue ribbon at the Chelan County Fair for the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon. The first grapes were planted at Keystone Ranch in 2010.

In 2014, wine was made from Keystone grapes and, because the hobby had outgrown them, Dale and Jim licensed and bonded a commercial winery, albeit a very small one.

Today, Keystone is still small, producing only 500 cases of wine per year and Dale and Jim work to perfect both grape growing and wine making practices. Wines currently available are the 2015 and 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon, 2015 and 2016 Pinot Noir, 2017 and 2018 Chardonnay, a 2016 Estate White (a blend of Pinot Gris, Riesling and Gewurztraminer) and a 2018 Pinot Noir Rose. Just bottled, but resting for a time in the cellar are Cabernet and Pinot from 2016 as well as a 2018 Chardonnay.

Keystone wines are available at Visconti’s Restaurant in Wenatchee, at the Wenatchee Chamber of Commerce Tasting Room, as well as by contacting Dale or Jim or visiting our new website, KeystoneCellars.com. Vineyard tours and winery tastings are by reservation.
