We’re Ending WA Wine Month with a Bang!

We had a ton of fun pouring wine and representing the Spokane Winery Association in Seattle 2 weeks ago for Taste Washington. We met so many people in the industry, reconnected with winery friends, and came back invigorated for spring! Our Friday Happy Hour continues, we’ve got a Girl Scout Cookie and Wine pairing, and Mark’s pouring wine at Vino. Not to mention we’ve set up the patio for warm days (Sunday’s forecast is looking promising). Plus we start bottling our 2023 vintage this Saturday (technically, this Saturday we’re bottling the 2024 Gewurztraminer; Mark would be upset if I didn’t mention that). If you haven’t seen this process in winemaking, make sure you’re following us on social media for the details and come see winemaking in action.

Friday Happy Hour – 5 to 7 p.m.
Each Friday join us from 5-7 p.m. for a glass of our featured wine and an individual charcuterie cup for $13 (+ tax). Here’s a list of upcoming featured wines:
