Carrie and I were beyond excited when we were able to set up an afternoon of wine tasting with Jill Perillo Clark, Director of Central Washington University’s Wine Studies program. Jill joined us on a few of our 2020 virtual wine tasting events, but this was the first time we had met in person. We finally got to share Woodinville ...
We’re planning on doing lots of outdoor entertaining this spring and summer – better weather is on the way and we couldn’t be more delighted! We wanted to show you these lovely “Napa” ceramic and earthenware serving pieces in case you enjoy wine-themed dishes. A lot of wine-themed serveware is brown and ugly, but we really like the Napa line ...
Continuing with our salute to Women’s History Month and Women Winemakers, today we spotlight two fabulous women in wine, Assistant Winemaker Mari Rossi and Cellar Lead Srah Jackson with DeLille Cellars. There are so many amazing things happening over at DeLille these days and we love that the amazing winemaking team includes these two amazing women. Sarah and Mari arrived ...
We make quite a lot of excellent white wine here in Washington State, but as Spring approaches, I’d like to introduce you to a more unusual varietal that not every winery chooses to make: Gruner Veltliner. This refreshing dry, high-acid white wine is mostly grown in Austria but a handful of bold Washington winemakers make a few cases every year. ...
It was such a pleasure to sit down with owner/winemaker Lisa Warr-King Packer of Warr-King Wines. She spent time out of her busy Saturday (a new-release Saturday, mind you!) to chat with me about all things Woodinville wine, and a few other fun adult conversation tidbits too! As we chatted and I enjoyed her incredible wines, we reflected on the ...

This Lounge will be located adjacent to the existing winery and tasting room, and will offer wine pairings, glass pours, wine flights and ...
We have always been huge fans of Damsel Cellars wines, especially after meeting the damsel herself: winemaker Mari Womack. We first met several years back at a charity event for Sisters of the Vinifera Revolution and have been fans since. Not only is Mari making killer Washington wines, she’s approachable and down-to-earth. This winning combination makes you want to come ...
We were so excited to visit Wit Cellars and taste wine in Woodinville’s Warehouse District a few weeks back. I don’t often have the chance to go to Woodinville wineries on Sunday afternoons, so to make a date of it I invited my fiance James along. We were immediately greeted by Susan and the team at Wit who were super ...
Happy first day of March! We’re delighted to get a sneak peek at spring today with sunshine and relatively warm weather. It makes us want to go out wine tasting, on a Monday morning! This month is special in two ways. It is Taste Washington Wine Month and it is also Women’s History Month. All month long, we will be ...
