Relationship evidence

Identity revision 1, last changed 2026-10-18

a declared affiliated site is a relationship the publisher states, not common ownership
a declared provider account (gift cards, hiring, ordering) is a service relationship, not an affiliation
a register party at the business's premises is a candidate operator until the Place and legal resolvers bind it
a licensed operator of the business's premises operates those locations; it is not thereby the brand's owner
an employer a job board names on the openings posts them; it is not thereby the owner or the operator
an app's store seller or developer publishes the app; neither is thereby the restaurant's owner
a menu that names a producer names it; it is not a supply contract, a volume or an exclusivity
a mail or DMARC service domain in DNS is a technical service relationship, not an affiliation
a group the site says it is part of is a public affiliation; the equity chain and buying rights are separate questions
an organization that posts the openings, sells the app or holds a program account shares services with the business; that is not affiliation or ownership

As printed “The challenge for us has always been, and remains, to create special wines from the uniquely expressive terroir that Mother Nature gave us a long time ago,” states DeLille Cellars’ acclaimed winemaker Chris Upchurch. “We know that this challenge of discovery is never ending, and is becoming a tradition here at DeLille Cellars.” Chris’ love for wine started in his youth, with extensive travel throughout the Grand Cru wine-growing regions of Europe and the west coast of the US. “I had to start off developing my palate and my perspective. How can you make great wine if you don’t know what that is?” he reflected. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Washington, Chris began his career as a wine merchant, working with several of Seattle’s best-known restaurants. This experience allowed him to hone his palate while tasting wines from around the world. Deep in his heart, Chris knew he wanted to express his passion in the production end of the wine industry. Armed with his love of wine and commitment to learning its craft, Chris initially developed a successful grape-brokerage business contracting grapes from Washington State and selling them to winemakers. Chris uncovered his true calling once he started spending endless hours in the vineyards. That love of the land, the vine and its fruit, fostered Chris’ passion for winemaking and his passion for charting a course in Washington State. An acclaimed professional winemaker for over twenty years, Chris still spends much of his time in the vineyards of Washington State, primarily Yakima Valley and Red Mountain AVA’s. Reflecting on the great European winemaking tradition, he remarks “The truly long-lived wines are made in the vineyards. I expect to be here for many years to come.”
