Josh
Tech geek turned wine geek…
A Pacific Northwest resident since 2002 (with roots in Southern Idaho and studies at the University of Idaho and Colorado State), Josh brings a worldly perspective informed by travels throughout New Zealand, Germany, and the Mediterranean. He favors the rich character of Mourvèdre (with Cabernet Sauvignon a close second) and curates a diverse wine list featuring both New and Old World selections, with an emphasis on Washington wines, small-production vineyards, and distinguished wines from women and minority-led wineries. Join us at Barrels and discover a wine that speaks to you.
