Ned Morris Is Water Polo - Cap Campaign

Washington State native Ned Morris had to travel all the way to Australia (to play water polo!) to decide he wanted to be a winemaker, before circling back to Basel Cellars Winery in Walla Walla. He's got a Masters degree in Food Chemistry and a knack for growing great grapes! Ned started playing water polo as a 10 and under in Willamette Valley, where he also played in High School. Ned swam and played water polo on a combined scholarship at Iona College in New York and after receiving his degree, headed to Australia to play semi-professional water polo. Deciding then to pursue a career in winemaking he studied at Penfold's McGill Estate in Adelaide. Besides making wine, Ned now coaches and plays with the club water polo team in Walla Walla.

He and his wife, Mary, still own Biscuit Ridge Vineyard near Dixie, Wash., which produces some of the Northwest most delicious late harvest Gewurztraminer.
