Hosted by Noah Reed & Cameron James, Winemaker and General Manager of Tinte Cellars, Woodinville, WA

Winemaker Noah Fox Reed and General Manager Cameron James each share over 20 years of experience in the wine industry and direct the production, operations, sales & marketing at Tinte Cellars. Tinte Cellars is a family-owned winery, established by Tim Gamble and Teresa Spellman Gamble in 2018. Their mission is to combine an award-winning, Washington-focused winery with a social mission to inspire the community to support those in need in Washington state. A Washington native, Noah was busy earning his degree in Philosophy when he first became interested in wine. He began studying winemaking at Walla Walla Community College and his passion crystalized when he worked his first harvest in 2003. Noah journey took him to Australia for a harvest and then back to Eastern WA, ultimately working as an Assistant Winemaker. In 2014, looking for a new challenge, he took charge of the program at William Church and now masterfully manages winemaking for Tinte Cellars. Cameron grew up amongst the vines in the Sonoma/Napa Valley wine country. While finishing college Cameron began working in the wine industry in a tasting room. A healthy mix of curiosity and ambition lead to positions that brought a diverse set of skills and knowledge. In 2008, Cameron moved into the luxury hotel industry, ultimately leading the food and beverage program at Meadowood Napa Valley. In 2016, Cameron returned to the wine industry and lead several luxury and high-volume properties before taking the opportunity to join Tinte Cellars in 2021 as General Manager
