To say that the site has been well received would be the understatement of the year. I am continually gratified by the response we have been getting from our sales team, and through them, from our distributor partners. We have truly retaken the “high ground” from our competitors in the wine industry, and I dare say that we could probably give several other CPG industries a run for their money. Thank you once again for the outstanding, and continuing, work that FINE contributes to this important site. Shawn Byrnes, Director, On-Premise Marketing

The online brand re-invention of highly-regarded Ste. Michelle Wine Estates hit full stride with the launch of the Chateau Ste. Michelle website.

Dramatic images of one of the Pacific Northwest’s best and most renowned wineries, including the resident family of peacocks, combines with a host of features like:

- A retailer locator that uses geo-located coordinates to determine your distance from the nearest bottle of Riesling

- A new section that does justice to Chateau Ste. Michelle’s renowned summer concert series

- A centralized events calendar for the winery

- An interactive website map of the state of Washington and their vineyards

- A tool to search for reviews of your favorite wine

- A browser for the biggest portfolio of wines we’ve had on any of our sites to date

And, as with all SMWE brands, it sits atop a robust content management system that seamlessly manages multiple winery websites under one brand roof.
