Winemaker

Dick Mettler, owner, winemaker, bookkeeper, janitor, salesman and just about everything else, started his wine career helping his father make wine in the garage of their home in California at the ripe young age of about 12 years old. Years later, after moving to Washington and discovering that wine grapes grew here too, Dick starting tinkering around and by the late 1990’s was hooked. Of course, like his father, he needed a bit of help and enlisted the aid of two Golden Retriever pups, Jake and Annie. Best cleanup crew a hobby winery ever had – never missed a spilled drop!

The hobby shortly got out of hand and by 2005 Dick was enrolled in the Wine Technology program at South Seattle Community College and up to his elbows in grapes – as were Jake and Annie, who loved to supervise every aspect of the process, and speak their mind when they thought it was needed! As one of the first to complete the Wine Making path of the program in 2008, Dick saw no reason to stop there and after interning and working at Red Sky Winery in Woodinville, he wound up where he is today with J&A’s.

History

J&A’s was started in 2010 as a second label at another Woodinville winery, and was bonded in its current location in the Woodinville Warehouse District as its own entity in September 2012, just days before the grapes started rolling in.

Estate Vineyards / AVA

Here at J&A’s we source our fruit from vineyards that are as unique – and in some ways as boutique – as J&A’s Winery itself. We look for vineyards that match the varietal to the soils and climate so as to produce wines that express the varietal characteristics of the fruit to the fullest. Some vineyards may never have been heard of, but the grapes tell the story!

From the tiny 2.25 acre Maranna Vineyard west of Yakima in the Naches Heights area, to the Walla Walla Valley and XL Vineyards, from Bosma Vineyards on the hillsides above Outlook, from Meek Family Estates near Red Mountain and from Rosebud Vineyards on the Wahluke Slope AVA, we source grapes from all over Eastern Washington state.

The grapes produced are exquisite, full-flavored fruit that allow us to offer some of the finest wines in the state.
