Hello 2023,

February is here and we have been busy bottling! Man, the 2022 Eternal Lust Albariño is tasting beautifully. I can’t wait for you to taste it as well.

I hope to see you all at my 40th birthday bash at the winery this Saturday, February 4th. Dj Lotek will be spinning your favorites. No cover, doors at 8pm. Since I lost all my contacts on Facebook, let this be your formal invite.

Top of the news for January was that my Facebook page was hacked. This person changed my name and all my personal information, so I was unable to log in to it anymore. They even took over our Eternal Wines Facebook page. I’m not sure what it is currently, but they changed the name of that one too. At this time, if you are reaching out to the other 2 pages for Drink Washington State, we have no access to those accounts either. Unfortunately, FB doesn’t make it easy to talk to anyone, and after extensive research and tries we are still locked out. As a business owner these are the things that take over your days that you never saw coming.

As we continue our 3 pack of the month promotion, we are showing off our 2016 Eternal Echo Syrah. This 96 pointer is from Gamache Vineyard and won best Syrah in the Walla Walla Wine competition a couple years ago. Warning: You will love this wine. But rest assured knowing you have 2 more in the box! Don’t take my word for it though, read this from Great Northwest Wine review:

The single-vineyard project of erstwhile Empire State sommelier Brad Binko zeroed in on Gamache Vineyard for an Oct. 3 pick during a vintage that wasn’t an easy one for Syrah to attain ripeness in some corners of the Northwest. And yet, there’s profound intensity and depth to the dark blue fruit profile. Velvety fine-grained tannins don’t distract from the subtle minerality, and the late injection of boysenberry extends the lengthy finish.

Rating: Platinum, 96 points

Normally $180, this month take 20% off and get it for just $144. To top it off, we are offering free shipping with this deal! Purchase here.

While our posted winter hours for February are Thursday-Saturday 11-4pm, we do open most days. This is because if I’m at the winery working, I might as well put the open sign on. That being said, if you would like to come Sunday-Wednesday please just submit a tasting requesthere and I will make sure we are open for your group!

Spring 2023 release is almost here! This shipment is a special one as we have 2 wine club only wines that we are releasing. These are from Bogin Vineyard in Walla Walla. This vineyard has meant a lot to us at Eternal as we actually go out and hand pick this vineyard every year. Unfortunately, we had to finally let it go since it was getting too much as we increased our overall production. The last vintage will be the 2021 of these wines. Our Good Vibes wine club customers will be receiving a mixture of these new releases. Our next shipment will go out in late March/early April.

  • 2020 Eternal Insight Marsanne (Boushey Vineyard)
  • 2021 Drink Washington State Reserve Chardonnay (Otis Vineyard)
  • 2022 Eternal Beauty Rosé of Grenache (Gingko Forest Vineyard)
  • 2018 Eternal Privilege Red Blend (Bogin Vineyard) **Wine Club Only**
  • 2019 Eternal Restraint Syrah (Bogin Vineyard) **Wine Club Only**
  • 2020 Drink Washington State Carménère

Interested in joining our wine club? Free to join and free Shipping! We have 3 different tiers. The Sir McCartney is just Eternal Wine selections, the Hexum is a mixture of both labels, and the Petty is just our Drink Washington State label.  You can join for free, and it’s just 2 shipments a year:  your choice of 6 or 12 bottles.
