It’s easy to see that Smasne is deeply rooted in the Yakima Valley and family is important to him. He makes wines named after his son and daughter. His Farm Boy label has a drawing of him as a child, and Farm Girl depicts his daughter.

Between his own labels and his client work, Smasne makes something north of 25,000 cases, and he just added a six-year contract to make wines for the WSU Museum of Art. He does all of this with four full-time and 11 part-time employees in a 75,000- square-foot warehouse in Grandview.
