From his early days as a self-taught winemaker and wine sales professional to today, Mark's curiosity has been the driver. For Mark, wine is extremely personal. Mark Ryan McNeilly founded Mark Ryan Winery in 1999 with the simple and lofty goal of making the best wine in Washington State. Largely self-taught, Mark honed the craft of winemaking through rigorous study and the welcomed advice of some of the area's most experienced producers.
The goal has always been to make delicious wines representative of our style and varietal character, striving for the highest quality every vintage. I studied wine for years before I produced my first vintage. I was working as a wine distributor during the day and a server/bartender at night when I fell in love with the culture of wine.

Q: Where did the name DEAD HORSE come from? A: Our first vintage in 1999 was sourced from Ciel du Cheval, which translates to Horse in the Sky or Horse Heaven. DEAD HORSE just seemed extremely appropriate (although not everyone agreed in the early days, it's worked out pretty well). Q: Why are there so many motorcycles in here?
