Katy and Justin Michaud are two of Washington's most talented young winemakers – the folks behind award-winning wines at Canoe Ridge, Kim Crawford, Covey Run and Coyote Canyon.
They’ve had huge success individually - and thanks to Angels, this husband-wife duo are creating their own wines together (for the first time ever!) They’re psyched to join forces and introduce more spectacular cool-climate wines to Angels across the US.
Washington produces vibrant, fruit-driven wines that you just can't capture in California – the moment we tasted Katy and Justin's wines we knew we were onto something that would give Napa a run for its money!

When you hear the phrase 'family business,' this time it's not just marketing clap trap. His 78-year-old father still turns up to work every day, and there are cousins and siblings working in virtually every nook and cranny of the winery his grandfather founded.
While Paolo specializes in Prosecco, he's got a few pet projects in the back of the house and thanks to Angel funding we've been able to bring those small production dreams to life.

You freed a powerhouse Washington winemaker – Dave Harvey is quite the catch.
With your backing, he's combing the state – from the Columbia Valley river basin to southern Walla Walla – to make Northwest classics (and seriously shocking red blends, too... like his signature GSMmm Syrah!)
He's already clinched a Decanter award for the “Best Rhône varietal wine in the world.” Mark our words - now that Dave has Angel funding, that’s just a drop in the bucket.

Derek knows what he's doing and has the connections to make fantastic wines from extraordinary places. He loves working with legacy vineyards and finding the truly special vines – the heritage blocks – of Napa, Dry Creek Valley, Anderson Valley and beyond. And Angel funding gives him the chance!
Hailing from Australia's highly regarded Clare Valley, Adam Barton launched his winemaking career after tasting a glass of Lindemans 1965 Hunter River Burgundy. It was "magic," as Adam described it.
Winemaking since 2001, Adam carefully selects his vineyards and growing partners, and throws in lots of care and attention to the smallest details.
Thanks to Angel support, Adam has the freedom to experiment with making unconventional blends with different grape varieties – pushing the envelope to make award-winning wines for you.
