EVERSON, Wash. — The new owners of Mount Baker Vineyards are looking to export products to China despite trading disputes.
China-based Sunking Finance Group purchased Mount Baker Vineyards from Randy Finley and Patricia Clark-Finley, who ran the Everson winery for more than 25 years.
Sunking’s Senior Vice President says China is experiencing a wine boom with retail sales increasing 20 percent a year.
Mount Baker Vineyards’ new CEO says the move would bring in more jobs and could revitalize a part of Whatcom County.
