We are delighted to welcome back Billo Naravane, winemaker from Rasa Vineyards for a winemaker’s dinners. Billo’s first dinner at Coho Restaurant in March of 2014 was seven years after the winery’s first release. Since then Billo and his business partner and brother, Pinto, have taken the wine industry by storm creating exceptional, award-winning, terroir-driven wines in the Walla Walla Valley. Their wines are structured with grace and elegance with staying power for cellaring.
The two brothers quit their day jobs in the computer industry and moved to Walla Walla to start a winery.
