Happy Summer to all my friends and family!
First off I would like to say that I defiantly have the coolest wine club members! In just the last couple months, I was put up in Chicago for a couple days, taken VIP to Death Cab for Cutie in Seattle and partied with a couple of them in Red Mountain. Other good news for our Good Vibes club is that we just got our custom table in. This means that we can start up winemaker dinners at The INK. These will be made available to our wine club first.
Talking about food, we now offer lunch Fri-Sun 1130-330 at The INK. Our menu is available on line but we feature 5 panini sandwiches weekly. All menu items come with chips or pretzels and are all under $10! Now you don’t have to drive back downtown for food, just come out to The INK.
We are also happy to announce our newest promotion ‘Selfie Pic for a Tic’. The best part is that its easy! Just post a selfie with a bottle of either of our labels and tag us on social media.
We will give a pair of tickets away each week. Winner can choose between Brother Dege on July 20thor Naughty Pine with Sound & Stone on August 17th.
We are so excited to bring back Sonja and So Dance for the 3rdtime at The INK this Friday! Electro Loco: A Latin Fusion dance party. Doors at 8pm. $10 at the door includes pre dance lesson. Check out the FB event page for more details. $4 Beers, $5 Sangria, $6 Rose, $7 Drink Washington State reds.
Food truck night is coming up again as well. We will have DJ Tony B spinning late night on the table and Caden Mayfield pre-funk. Tired of waiting in the long lines on food truck night? We now serve panini’s and beer along with our award winning wines. Our new table should get some good use in for this event, so come and meet some new friends. See you on the 2nd!
We are announcing a new show at The INK as well. Tri-cities own Naughty Pine will be playing on August 17th, 2018. One of my personal favorite bands Sound & Stone will be opening up for them. Doors at 6pm. Pre-sale tickets are $8 and available in either of our Walla Walla tasting rooms or here. Wine club members we are hooking you up as your discount applies to concerts also!
We have SOLD OUT of a couple wines this month. The newest wines to hit the dust are the Carmenere, and Chardonnay from Drink Washington State. The 2014 Eternal Patience Roussanne and 2015 RocketMan Red. We are low on our Spring release whites (Marsanne, and Grenache Blanc) so don’t miss these summer favorites.
Celebrate Walla Walla was so much fun! We pour for a couple tastings and was able to pour my Eternal Gratitude Merlot for Rex Picket, who wrote Sideways. I had a blast pouring with 3 of my fellow colleges at a winemaker dinner at the Marcus Whitman. So cool when we can get together and just enjoy each others company!
As you know, we are bringing Grammy nominated artist, Brother Dege, to the INK in Walla Walla!! He was nominated for his hit on Django Unchained. Dress like a character from any Quentin Tarantino movie and receive a complimentary drink ticket. Tickets are $15 and we are almost sold out. Click here to buy ticketsor buy them at either of our tasting rooms in Walla Walla.
Ill be in Seattle pouring about 5 different dates this next month and a couple in Spokane. One that I would like to highlight is a winemaker dinner at Phoeneciaon Alki in West Seattle on July 12th. They still had a couple tickets left when I checked in last week but not many. I look forward to breaking bread with some of you soon.
Picasso turned 11 this last weekend as well! I grilled 2 steaks one for each of us. He ate his quicker than I ate mine, no surprise there. I look forward to more birthdays with our winery dog, and my best friend.
I now need to ask a favor from you. We are working hard to get the news out there about our amazing wines and staff but we cannot do it alone. I ask that you take a second and review us on any platform that you feel comfortable with. Google, Facebook, Yelp, and Trip Advisor are just a few to mention. I appreciate it, my friends!
Our downtown tasting room is now open 5 days a week: Wed. & Sun 12-5 pm and Thurs-Sat. 12-8 pm.
Our airport location is open Friday-Sunday 11-5 pm. Lunch served 1130-330 *We are open later for special events.
Free live music is from 5:30-7:30 pm. Locals taste our Drink Washington State wines for free.
