Our Team
These are the nerds you’re looking for
– Steve wells
Equally as important as making great wines, is having a great team that can bring a fun experience to you while you’re tasting them. Here’s the crew that brings the fun to you at Time & Direction!
Steve Wells, Director of Awesome
When I first started, it was only me so I gave myself whatever title I wanted. Hailing from the restaurant scene in New York City, I chose Walla Walla to learn how to make wine in 2011.  I’ve worked for Gramercy Cellars and M&L Production and earned my degree in Enology & Viticulture from the Walla Walla Community College before starting Time & Direction in 2016. I bring my restaurant background into winemaking by focusing on food friendly wines as well as my personality to every label by making them all different based on things that have been important to me during my lifetime.  Entering the Time & Direction tasting room is like stepping into my brain with 80s & 90’s pop culture references, music, video games, and of course wine, decorating all the walls.  Not your average tasting room experience.  It isn’t often that you’ll hear lo-fi jazz music playing one minute and then heavy metal the next.  Drink wine and enjoy!
