Tim Drake, began his career in 1999 while living in Washington State. His first job was in the QA department with Chateau Ste. Michelle Wine Estates at the Columbia Crest facility. He quickly realized he wanted to be on the winemaking side of production, so he transferred to Chateau Ste. Michelle where he went to work in the cellar. For the next several years, he went from those large scale beginnings to smaller, high-end boutique wineries, making wine alongside some of Washington’s best. Those experiences from the cellar to Cellar Master and on to Assistant Winemaker readied him for the leap to Head Winemaker, and it was around that time that he and his family decided they needed a change.

In 2010, they left Washington State and headed to Texas. Over the last fifteen years, Tim has been Head Winemaker or Consulting Winemaker for several Texas wineries. In 2021 we asked him to join our team as the Head Winemaker here at Michael Ros Winery. Tim's skill at blending the art and science of winemaking has resulted in amazing award winning wines.
