What a great month it has been!

Wow! I am so lucky to have my little spot in the sun here in Walla Walla.  In my life I have accomplished a lot of things but this may be the most gratifying.  As they say, “Life is good”.  We continue to get a lot of love from wine critics, and our Thursday Night Lights concert and food truck nights have taken off. Being able to combine my 2 favorite things in life, with food being my 3rd , has been amazing.  If you haven’t been into the winery in a while, please come back in and enjoy yourself.

 

Life is certainly bouncing back for us at the winery. We are open 7 days a week, 11-5pm.  We now offer 3 tasting options for groups:  1 all white wines, 1 a mixture, and 1 all big red wines.  We are down to less than 4 cases of our 2018 Drink Washington State White Blend, so if you want anymore this is the time to get it. We did not produce this wine in 2019 or 2020.

I’m excited to announce a couple more shows at the winery. We are hosting a huge party for PRIDE month. Stay tuned to our socials for more info on this event which will be held on Saturday, June 26th. In addition to this, we are bringing back Naughty Pine on Aug 5th and The Wasteland Kings on June 24th. Both of these shows will be a $5 cover charge for Thursday Night Lights.

What a great first month of Thursday Night Lights it was! Even though the weather has not always played nice, we have had great support. For this, we thank you!  Every little bit helps in small businesses! The 1st week was amazing, and every week since we have added little things to make it more enjoyable. We have added more picnic tables, a gazebo or shade, and even a covering for the stage so the band and their equipment don’t roast in the sun. We even updated the timing a little bit. Doors open at 5:00 pm and table reservations are held from 5-5:30 pm. The band’s first set begins at 6:00 pm while the second set is at 7:30 pm.

Our Drink Washington State Carmenere continues to gain fans. It recently won platinum at the Best of the Best Platinum competition from Wine Press Northwest. My Carmenere documentary, “Through the grapevine”, Link here.  We are currently pouring our 2017 Drink Washington State Carmenere.

Interested in joining our wine club? 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.
