MICKEY DUNNE
Mickey experienced his first wine grape harvest in 1987 and has been hooked on the Washington state wine industry ever since. Serving as Assistant Winemaker and then Winemaker for the Snoqualmie/Saddle Mountain property, Mickey was responsible for approximately 100,000 cases of production until the property was sold in 1991. He then formed Wineworks, Inc., a consulting and sales and marketing company working with numerous Washington wineries. After joining Badger Mountain as Sales Manager in 1998, the brand has grown from 17,000 cases per year to a current production level of 70,000 cases per year. Mickey was made a partner in 2005.
Passionately committed to the success of Washington state wines and the environmental sustainability vision embodied by Badger Mountain Vineyard and Powers Winery, Mickey is active in the Washington Wine Commission and sits on the Steering Committee of WineWise, an organization working to develop a Sustainability Guidebook for vineyards and wineries.
Mickey is a graduate of the University of Minnesota. He enjoys playing ice hockey, fishing, and cooking. He and his wife live in Richland, in the heart of Washington state wine country.
