Washington Wine Industry

The Washington wine industry is launching a fellowship for emerging writers and communicators. The Allen Shoup Memorial Fellowship is an industry-wide collaboration that brings together the Washington State Wine Commission, Auction of Washington Wines, Washington Winegrowers Association, Washington Wine Industry Foundation, individuals, wineries and growers. The Fellowship was established in memory of Allen Shoup, who passed away in 2022. Shoup played a pioneering role in developing Washington's wine industry as the longtime head of the state's biggest winery, Ste. Michelle Wine Estates, and later as the owner of his own winery, Long Shadows Vintners. Funded entirely through donations, the fellowship awards one writer or communicator each year with an immersive trip to Washington's vineyards and wineries, along with a stipend. An expert panel will choose the fellowship recipient, with input from an industry advisory committee. The 2024 selection panel includes: Karen MacNeil, Karen MacNeil & Co.; Sean Sullivan, Northwest Wine Report; Eric Degerman, Great Northwest Wine; Devyani Gupta, Valdemar Estates; and Dane Narbaitz, Long Shadows Vintners. The deadline to apply is February 29, 2024. Any questions about the fellowship should be directed towards Heather Bradshaw at hbradshaw@washingtonwine.org.
