Brian's journey into winemaking began surprisingly when, after a visit to a working winery in 2007, he announced his new passion. With determination and a drive that Brandee likens to being "half Golden Retriever and half Freight Train," Brian immersed himself in learning the craft. His dedication paid off as their wine production grew from two barrels in 2009 to five in 2010. Whirlwind would describe the next year - marriage, the purchase and remodel of a 1926 home and building a winery in the basement. The name "Structure Cellars" itself was born during the chaos of home renovation, reflecting the strong foundation they were building - both personally and in wine.
Fast forward to present, Structure Cellars has grown significantly and earning numerous accolades, including multiple scores of 92 and 93 points and the title of the most awarded winery in 2023 by Sip Magazine's "Best of the Northwest.". With three locations in Seattle and Tacoma, they continue to produce wine in Washington State, a place they cherish. Grateful for the journey so far, they look forward to future adventures, inviting others to join them in celebrating love, wine, and the beautiful moments shared along the way.
