Greetings! It's hot and our A/C (and wines) are cool! Come in and see us; we have some great tastings lined up, including a visit from the owner and winemaker of one of our favorite Washington State producers, Camaraderie Cellars. Also, we are making a slight change in our license, which involves us getting rid of any distilled spirits. Although this is a bit of a downer, we have fun things planned for the future. Our new license will allow us to have more "engaging" events, private tastings, extended hours, and a possible outdoor on-premise consumption area! We are in the beginning phases of this transition, so stay tuned for further changes and details.
(And yes, we will still do free tastings :) )

Hope to see you soon!
Cheers, Matt and Sam

Value Pick of the Month
2009 Beso de Vino
"Kiss of Wine" with Antonio the Bull, from the Carinena D.O. in Spain. Fifteen year old vine Syrah with a dollop of forty year old Grenache. Herby, big and ripe blueberry and black cherry juicy with room to grow. Dense, with the ability to open up over an hour. Mineral and cardamom spice and cocoa, killer for the price. Plush tannins with a gentle finish. Full-bodied. The vineyard management and wine production follows the strict rules of organically certified wine. The coveted four plus rating. Has me agreeing with RP. Really rich. We love finding wines like this. There are some others from this new book to come. --Sam Hovland
