Today's Featured Winemaker:
Lou Facelli of Facelli Winery
Woodinville, Washington
Lou Facelli was born in Santa Cruz, California. His father was a very successful Italian restaurateur and his Portuguese grandfather was an excellent farmer and skilled fisherman. These two men provided inspiration and appreciation for good food and wine. The cultures of Italy and Portugal formed his heritage thus making his future as a winemaker inevitable.
Lou attended Shasta College in Redding California and graduated in 1969 with an AA degree in music. The discipline required in learning a musical instrument provided him with the same discipline needed to become a maker of fine wine. Just as a musician must have a humble yet determined passion for crafting music, Lou possesses an intuitive and creative spirit for the art of making wine.
