Charles Smith Wines
Charles Smith founded this Washington winery in 2001 after meeting a winemaker in Walla Walla, starting with just 330 cases. Today, the winery crafts wines using Old World techniques across a range of varietals—from the beloved Kung Fu Girl Riesling, one of America's best-selling Rieslings, to celebrated single-vineyard expressions. With multiple Wine Spectator Top 100 selections and a track record of 90+ scores, Charles Smith Wines has earned recognition as a serious producer in the Pacific Northwest.
