Doug Brazil  is our amazing Winemaker.  He is a recently retired Naval Officer/Helicopter Pilot whose last position was Commanding Officer of Navy Recruiting District Seattle.  His extensive travels throughout the world have allowed him to frequent wineries both internationally and locally and develop a competitive edge to ensure our success. 

For Doug Brazil, being winemaker for Chateau Faire Le Pont Winery is a dream come true. His meticulous attention to detail and obsession with quality comes from a place of respect for the legacy of winemaking. As a result, Doug spends his days in the cellar using his senses as his barometer for winemaking decisions, always striving to make wines that ultimately represent our Ultra-Premium Winery.

Her background in sales and marketing has been a great  for the winery.
