We’re starting to host backyard parties again now that it’s summer and socialization restrictions in our state have eased up! To make our parties extra fabulous, we like to open a magnum of Rosé each time. What is a magnum, you say? Let’s consult Wine Folly, where we find out that a magnum is 1.5 liters, or the equivalent of ...
Our wine blog’s fourth anniversary is approaching, and Jen and I wanted to share our favorite wines from each winery with you. Of course, our favorites change as vintages differ, new wines appear, our palates change and our whims carry us in other directions! Your palate is likely very different from ours, but we thought we’d share some of our ...

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 ...
