But our primary focus are customers who look at wine as a beverage to enhance meals on an everyday basis. Our goal is to help you find excellent wines that fit the flavor profile you seek in the price range that works for you. McCarthy & Schiering was recognized by Seattle Magazine as the best local retail wine shop for 2017. In 2004, GQ magazine named our shops one of the “50 best Wine Stores in America” and one of the “top 10 small specialty shops featuring wines from Piedmont and Tuscany.” We look forward to helping you discover new wines and introducing you to a community that shares your passion for the grape.

This Sat. Oct. 17, come taste and learn about w**es from Poderi Cellario, a small, family-run w**ery in Piedmont, Italy.

Fausto and his wife Cinzia Cellario are third-generation Dolcetto specialists in Carrù, southern Langhe.

They make natural w**es from indigenous Piemontese varieties that feel lighter, fresher, and more joyful than the region's monumental reputation might suggest.

This Sat. Oct. 10, come meet Willamette Valley legend - J. K. Carriere w**emaker Jim Prosser - who will be at the shop pouring his latest releases.

Jim severely allergic to wasps which are a hazard in the vineyards of Oregon's Willamette Valley. But he chose the wasp as his central imagery as a reminder of mortality, humility, and the razor-thin line between life and death. He has some stories to tell about close calls.

Founded in 1999, J.K. Carriere has been dedicated to building classically structured, high-acid, Pinot noir and Pinot-related projects like rosé, bubbles and dessert w**e, plus mineral-driven Chardonnays, approximately 80% of which is from their estate vineyards and the balance from select, longstanding partnersh

We've been trying to arrange this tasting for a couple years and are exciting everything's come together.

We'll be pouring at the Ravenna shop from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

See you soon!

This Sat. Oct 3, try w**es from two Spanish w**emakers who are redefining what's possible.

Pere Ventura, left, has a driving ambition to produce Cava that directly rivals the world’s greatest sparkling w**es.

Telmo Rodriquez of Bodega Lanzaga wants "to create a red line between industrial Rioja and human-scale Rioja," he told Decanter.

The two w**eries are from different and culturally distinct parts of Spain.

Pere Ventura is in Catalonia, Penedès, specifically, the undisputed global epicenter of Spanish sparkling w**e.

Bodega Lanzaga is on an estate in Basque country sub-region of Rioja, and focuses on terroir, instead of big oak and regional blending.

This is a great opportunity to discover Spain's w**e diversity and taste w**emakers elevating Cava and Rioja, for free.

We'll be pouring at the Ravenna shop from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

See you soon!

(If you joined our Judgment of Paris tasting in May, you already know how special that 2022 Monte Bello was! 😉)

This is a great opportunity to level-set your palate on Chianto Classico, Brunello and Sangiovese blends. We've long-carried Carpineto w**es and can certainly attest to their ability to be cellared for many years prior to being enjoyed!

In less than two decades, they have transformed this stunning 113.7-acre site in Provence into one of the top w**e estates in Southern France.

This Sat. Aug. 29, come to the shop in Ravenna to meet w**emaker Michael Savage of Savage Grace w**ery and taste his latest releases.

With grapes harvested from his vineyards perched on Underwood Mountain in the Columbia Gorge AVA, Michael aims to make high altitude, high acid, low alcohol, old world style w**es that are true to their terroir.

His analog approach has roots in music, that he performs with his wife, Grace, and recorded when he ran a music studio before jumping into the w**e world.

"A lot of what I do in w**e, I learned through recording," he told W**e Enthusiast. "Learning how to not mess with things and trying to keep an honesty to what you’re starting with, whether it’s a vineyard or a song."

Come meet Michael and taste his w**es this Sat., starting at 11 a.m.

See you soon!

08/21/2026

This Sat. Aug. 25 taste the latest releases from Woodinville's Rujaya, and learn a few things from w**emaker Ben Almquist, for free.

Rujaya is based in Woodinville. Ben's education in w**e started at the University of Kansas, where he took at course called 'the geography of w**e.' His curiousity took flight with visits to independent w**e shops like ours, in the midwest, learning from w**emakers about their regions and methods.

Ben honed his w**emaking and production skills working alongside his cousin at Almquist Family W**ery + Distillery in Seattle.

Rujaya sources fruit from some of the Northwest’s most compelling vineyards and turning it into w**es with both precision and personality focusing on Riesling, Rhone, and Burgundian varieties.

Ben will be pouring in our shop in Ravenna from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
