(Tri-CityHerald) - Ste. Michelle Wine Estates asked the Kennewick Irrigation District to reconsider the design for its $17.2 million Red Mountain project.
KID Board President Gene Huffman told Kevin Corliss, Ste. Michelle's vice president of vineyards, on Tuesday that the board would consider the winery's concerns about the visual impact from the current design of the project to bring water from the Yakima River to the wine grape growing land.
Also Tuesday, KID directors unanimously approved hiring Rotschy of Vancouver, Wash., for the first phase of the project in the Red Mountain American Viticultural Area between Richland and Benton City.
