This Saturday we have our annual tasting with Joel Goodwille owner/winemaker from WIND RIVER CELLARS. We will be featuring: PINOT GRIS - $20.99 - Wind River Cellars Pinot Gris is distinctive because it offers both fresh, brilliant aromatics and a superbly rich texture. Floral nuances, including a trace of orange blossom, mingle with hints of peach, nutmeg and cinnamon.
PINOT NOIR - $20.99 - Pleasant cherry, cedar and vanilla flavors make this Burgundian style wine versatile with a variety of foods.
TEMPRANILLO - $20.99 - this dark red wine shows powerful flavors of black currant that give way to cherry and subtle oak finish.
CABERNET FRANC - $20.99 - Subtle barrel toast and bittersweet chocolate flavors balance out the bold tannin and acidity of this gentle Bordeaux style wine.
RIESLING - $12.99 - Wind River Cellars estate vineyard, know as "Silvertooth Vineyard" grows intense low yield, non-certified organic Riesling. Rich pear, apricot, grapefruit and peach flavors. {}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}
and we will enjoy Joel's WHITE PORT - $20.99 to finish off.

CHATEAU RATOUIN Pomerol (Bordeaux) The distributor had been searching for an affordable wine from Pomerol for some time and think this is the winner! It is a well structured wine, with blackcurrant, cigar box, and gamey black olive notes. Medium-full bodied, with a long, moderately dry finish. 80% Melot & 20% Cabernet Franc. A new Washington wine that we want to share with everyone - GECKO CELLARS SANGIOVESE. This is a modern Tuscan-style wine that focuses on the characteristics of the sangiovese grape, and blends in varietals to add balance and structure. 83% Sangiovese, 8% Merlot, 5% Syrah & 4 % Cabernet.

If you are looking for a certain bottle of wine remember that we can usually order and have for you within a week. If you had a bottle somewhere and are having a hard time finding it again we enjoy taking on the challenge of finding it for you if it is available in the area. No added charges and no minimum order to place a special order. We can also ship wines to family and friends for you. Don't go through the frustration of trying to go to UPS or the Post Office! We have the shippers and the license to take care of it for you. There are some restrictions as to what states but we always try our best.
