Meet Gabriel Crowell, one of the Co-founders of Tirriddis 🥂🍾
Gabriel is our Director of Winemaking at Tirriddis, so he is essential in making Washington sparkle! Throughout his life, Gabriel has lived in many places ; seeing & appreciating different cultures. At 15 years old, his family moved from his home in Arkansas to live in Cyprus, where Gabriel’s passion for wine began while working in a wineshop there. After working in wine retail for a few years, he got his WSET Level 3 certification, and then decided to pivot and pursue a career in wine production – catalyzing a move to Tri-cities, WA to attend WSU’s Viticulture & Enology program. During his education at WSU, Gabriel formed not only long-lasting connections to the wine industry but also made new friends in the process. After working in the industry and building a passion for sparkling wine, he partnered with Matthew Doutney & Andrew Gerow to show the world Washington sparkling wine. Now in 2026, Tirriddis is at the edge of discovery of not only traditional method sparkling wines but also what it means to be in the Washington Wine Industry.
