This Sat. Sept. 5, come feel and taste that Endless Summer vibe at our free tasting of w**es from Domaine de Triennes.

The w**ery is a joint project by two of Burgundy’s greatest names - Jacques Seysses, founder of Domaine Dujac, and Aubert de Villaine, co-owner of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti.

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.

We'll be pouring a rotating selection of latest releases at our shop in Ravenna, this Sat., starting at 11 a.m.

See you soon!

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!

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.

This Sat. Aug 15, we invite you to taste w**es from Il Mortellito, based in Val di Noto, in the corner of Sicily that lies at the same latitudes as North Africa’s arid desert climate.

Mortellito owner and w**emaker Dario Serrentino has always enjoyed the contrasts of this coastal growing area, which he calls ‘a desert next to the beach.’

Over the years, he’s learned to coax extremely elegant w**es from this receding coast of limestone.

Honoring regional grapes like Nero d’Avola, Moscato di Noto, Frappato & Grillo, Dario's cuvées are a must try piece of the Sicilian w**e puzzle.

We'll be pouring a rotating selection of Dario's w**es at our shop in Ravenna from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

For our free tasting this Sat. Aug. 8, we welcome back Scenic Valley Farms out of Oregon. For over fifty years, Scenic Valley Farms has been in the Willamette Valley and they are currently crafting some of the most compelling and quaffable w**es from the region.

The w**emaker behind these w**es is Gabriel Jagle and we are fortunate he'll be at the shop to lead this fun and informative tasting.

Gabriel was born in Rio de Janeiro and learned to taste w**e while working at Trader Joe’s and a few w**e shops in California. He moved to Oregon to learn about w**emaking and has been working in the Willamette Valley since 2008.

We'll be pouring from a rotating selection of Scenic Valley's latest releases from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; Gabriel will be pouring from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m.

We'll be pouring a selection of staff picks from AVAs including Walla Walla, Yakima Valley, Columbia Valley and the Columbia Gorge.

Over the years, Washington has become known not just for Rhone and Bordeaux varietals, but also an emerging variety of grapes more commonly found in Italy, Spain and even South America.

The collection may seem somewhat eclectic, but each of the selections we’ve made are standouts in their own right and a
fantastic representation of Washington w**es.

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

See you soon!

This Sat. July 18, come to Ravenna for a free tasting of Massican W**es - the only Napa producer focused on white w**es.

Italians started planting grapes in California in the late 1800s. The Mediterranean climate reminded them of home. Massican founder and w**e maker Dan Petroski did a reverse migration of sorts. After a career in publishing in NY, he went to Sicily to learn how to make w**e. Then, he brought what he learned to Napa.

Petroski's efforts paid off and one of Massican’s many accolades is that their Sauvignon Blanc has been featured on the French Laundry’s by-the-glass list for 10 years in a row!

We'll be pouring a rotating selection of new releases from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
