Wine & Spirits 2008
John Bell, winemaker and sole owner of Willis Hall, takes a swig of water after a long night of offering samples of his wines at Gusto!, a fundraiser for the Everett Community College Foundation. For several years, Bell has participated in the benefit, which helps fund student scholarships, programs and college necessities. ''My wines are my art,'' he says. ''I view them as distilling some of life's beauty.''
