■ Hours/events: Summer hrs

As of Memorial Day (this weekend), our open hours will be extended for Summer:

Fri, Mon 11am-5pm

Sat, Sun 11am-6pm

Tue-Thu by reservation only, use our website app, or call/txt my cell 206-200-5902.

Of course you can always shop online if making it to the winery is not convenient.

■ New releases, special sales

Siegerrebe 2019: replaces 2018

Sparkling Siegerrebe 2021: replaces NV (2019)

We have special 3-pack sales on several wines. The special price is only for 3 bottles, no mix/match.

■ Wine Club

We are in the process of changing over to online wine club software, and are experiencing some growing pains with the changeover. Please bear with us, and don't hesitate to call/txt/email me with questions or concerns.

If you're not already a member, and are interested, our Wine Club is free to join, with no penalty fee to leave. All we ask is that you purchase 12 btls per year. All wine purchases are 20% off, and you and your guests do not pay tasting fees. We'll send you a reminder 3x per year with suggestions for 4 btls. Although Covid-19 has made it difficult, we hope to have special members-only pickup events again in the future. You can sign up at the winery or send us an email. (We don't have a Summer Wine Club event as wine can be ruined by heat in the back of a UPS or FedEx truck.)

■ Awards

We have some excellent contest results to report:

Seattle Wine Awards (May-2023) - every wine we entered got a medal:

Syrah 2018, Gold

Sparkling Sieg 2021, Gold

Lemberger 2019, Gold

Siegerrebe 2019, Bronze

We also got wine to the International Cool Climate Wine Awards in Poland:

Sparkling Rose 2020, Silver

Rubrus 2019, Silver

■ Vineyard: Line trimming, shoot thinning

This time of year is all about vegetation control. We've spent the last few weeks mostly mowing and line trimming. We'll be spending the next few weeks doing shoot thinning, and of course pretty quickly we'll need to mow and line trim again. If you're interested in learning about how to manage grapevines, consider joining our pv-helpers email list.

■ Needing Tasting area help

This year has been the busiest it's ever been in my Tasting area. For those of you who have visited, you may have had an experience of myself with no, or few, other customers. Over the last several months I've had weekends where all our tasting tables are full, and I've been hard-pressed to keep up with everyone's tastings. So I've crossed the threshold - I need to have help with tastings! If you'd be interested in working with me in the Tasting area on weekends, please reply to this email and let me know.
