Washington State University professors Phillip and Patricia Butterfield are accomplished, lifelong academics. Phillip spent 25 years as an engineer before shifting to microbiology; Patricia, who was dean of the College of Nursing at WSU Spokane between 2007 and 2014, sat at a 2015 White House Roundtable discussing the health effects of climate change. As the couple approached retirement age, living comfortably in a South Hill mansion, they faced a well-earned, relaxing journey into their golden years. So they sold the mansion, bought an old red barn and opened a winery.
