Julia Russell, owner of Mansion Creek Cellars, a boutique winery in Walla Walla, Washington, produces outstanding wines. She consults and works with two highly respected women winemakers in the area to insure that every vintage is superb. To complement the beauty of her wine, Julia is using new labels on her wine bottles, which she had me photograph for her website, which will be relaunched shortly. Then it was time to up grade the images of the proprietor herself. So last weekend, I went up to Walla Walla and photographed her in a number of different locations, including her gorgeous home. It was truly a remarkable experience getting to know and spend time with this energetic and bubbly woman. She is a gracious and generous host. Her tasting room is in the Marcus Whitman Hotel and when you go to visit, please tell her I sent you! Once it is released you must try her 2013 Julia’s Blend, it is simply divine.
