Argyle Names Kate Payne Brown as Winemaker

March 4, 2025

We have some massive news out of Oregon today as Kate Payne Brown has been named as new Argyle winemaker. Building on the legacy of her winemaking predecessors, Founder Rollin Soles and Winemaker Nate Klostermann, Payne Brown becomes only the third winemaker since Argyle was established in 1987. Recognized as one of the leading winemakers in the Pacific Northwest, Payne Brown comes to Argyle after an illustrious 20-year career that includes key roles at Archery Summit, Burgundia Oenologie, Stoller Family Estate and Ambar Estate, as well as her own winery, Dolores Wines, where she earned a reputation for producing some of Oregon’s most exciting sparkling wines.

We want to offer our heartfelt congratulations to Kate at her new post at Argyle. 🍾
