Lobo Hills by Seattle, WA winemaker, Tony Dollar. (2010 article) It began with a bike crash. It turned into a wine making career. “I woke in Harborview,” Tony Dollar put simply. “I found out that I landed on my head, my helmet was fractured in four places, and I fractured my spine. I started to think about what was really important in life. I thought about what I really enjoyed and it came down to three things: wine, food and people.” The past three years of Dollar’s life have been dedicated to producing wines that will inspire these around-the-table interactions. After attending the coveted Northwest Wine Academy at South Seattle Community College, Dollar promptly began crafting his artisan wines using Yakima Valley grapes. His goal of fostering dinner-table community helped shape the wines he created to be paired with food.
