Reminder: October’s Virtual Tasting takes place on Wednesday the 27th at 7pm Pacific Time. Read about how to participate here.

As promised, below is a list of wineries and their positions on Initiatives 1100 and 1105. Several readers indicated that they felt this information might be helpful in thinking about their own position.

First, let me say a word about how this information was collected. The list below represents both wineries that contacted me based on my blog, Twitter, and Facebook solicitations and wineries that responded to an email asking their positions.

In terms of wineries that were contacted via email, while I had originally hoped to contact all 700 or so wineries in the state, I quickly found collating the contact information to be impractical. Instead, I focused on wineries in the following locations: Chelan, Seattle, Spokane, Walla Walla Valley, Woodinville, and Yakima Valley. This was done for the sole reason that it provided the easiest way to contact the largest number of wineries as quickly as possible. In all cases, I used the regional association listings (which some wineries are not part of) to obtain the contact information. In total, I contacted approximately 150 wineries; Washington has approximately 700 wineries total.

Please note that the information below does not represent in any fashion a statistical sampling of Washington wineries and their positions. The positions of other wineries cannot be extrapolated from this list. Rather, this is just a list of wineries that responded to my solicitations and their stated positions – nothing more and nothing less.

Many winery representatives responded that they were not willing to share their positions publicly. Reasons most frequently cited were concern about alienating customers and divisions within the winery about the initiatives. Many also expressed frustration with Washington’s initiative process.

I would like to thank the wineries below for sharing their positions. If you represent a winery and wish to share your position, feel free to leave a comment below. The table is arranged from Yes (For) to No (Against) in alphabetical order.

Next up on this subject, thoughts from people across the three tiers. See previous posts on these initiatives here.
