It's TASTE WA WINE Month! Join Us for Fun at LLWC

/

March is here and that means bottling our 2024 vintage is about to start! As a small production winery we do everything by hand, including filling and corking each bottle we create. New to our 2024 line up is Mourvèdre that’s an exciting addition (perhaps hinting at a GSM in our future). Plus it’s Taste WA Wine month, and we have lots of great things lined up at the winery and at locations in the Spokane/CDA area. Make sure you’re following us on Facebook and Instagram for up-to-date info on bottling. 
 
Thanks to everyone who packed the winery last fall when Visit Spokane came to film our wine story. We were chosen as a Maker by Visit Spokane for their In-Spo series. We’re honored and humbled that they chose to feature us. We love telling our story and sharing our passion for wine with all of you! You can watch the full video here.

Seasons of CDA Wine Dinner
Monday, March 23rd  5:00-8:00 pm
We’re excited to be invited by Seasons of CDA to their March wine dinner. This 5 course dinner paired with our wines is a steal at $100/person (all inclusive). Mark & Sarah will be on-hand to discuss the wines and join in the meal. For details about the food (Sarah’s really excited about the Kalbi Short Rib braised in Tempranillo), visit their Facebook event page here. Reservations are required.
 
Pages & Pours our new Book Club adjacent monthly feature
Wednesday, March 18th, 5-7:30 pm
We’ve received a lot of questions about the LLWC Book Club. Sarah started the club in September 2016, and it’s been going strong ever since. So strong in fact that when the email list got to over 50 members and book club nights topped 30, she knew she had to scale back. Because in this book club, people actually wanted to discuss the book (and maybe drink some wine too). 
 
That’s why she’s created LLWC Pages & Pours, an invitation to anyone to stop in each month to talk about books, trade books, meet new people interested in books, or if you prefer, a time to read a book. This won’t be on a specific day each month, but it will be posted on social media and in newsletters. The first date is March 18th from 5-7:30. Drop in anytime during those hours for a glass of wine (we won’t be offering flights on these nights) and meet others interested in books. 
(please note, you do not have to be a wine club member to join on these nights)
