March's recommended winery mailing lists to join: Quilceda Creek Alex Golitzin was born in France and migrated to the US and eventually settled in Seattle where he worked a paper company most of his career. In 1974, with help from his Uncle Andre Tchelistcheff (one of the most revered winemakers in the world); Alex made his first barrel of Cabernet Sauvignon. Following three more vintages, Alex and his wife Jeannette, bonded the winery in 1978 and produced the first Quilceda Creek Cabernet in 1979. Four years later this wine received a Gold Medal and a Grand Prize at the Enological Society Festival in Seattle, the only Cabernet to achieve this honor to this day. In December 2002, Pierre Rovani of the Wine Advocate wrote "Is there a winery in the world that has produced a finer set of Cabernet over the past decade?" Quilceda Creek mailing list information.
