Spokane Winery Association's Spring Barrel Tasting and Release Weekend May 9-11

Hey Everybody!

Just a quick note - this weekend, Friday through Sunday, May 9-11, is the Spokane Winery Association's Spring Barrel Tasting and Release Weekend!! There are 12 participating wineries, including Arbor Crest, Barrister (I will be pouring the new award winning Cab Franc on Friday - stop by and say hi!), Caterina, Grande Ronde Cellars, Knipprath Cellars, Latah Creek, Lone Canary, Mountain Dome (sparkling wine house - rarely open to the public), Nodland Cellars (new winery that is doing great with their custom house blends), Robert Karl Cellars, Townshend Cellars, and Vintage Hill Cellars (another new winery - I think they mainly have whites ready to go - not sure about any reds yet).

Not everyone is charging tasting fees, and most have nibbles to accompany the wine. If you have never checked out what is happening here, please come!

Cheers,
Tim

HEY TIM

We are going to be in Spokane this weekend, any specific reccommendations? You want to try any Kana Dark Star? We do plan on visiting Barrister, Lone Canary, R Karl, Townsend and Latah. We just bought a mixed case from Arbor Crest, so we think that is covered unless they have a new release we should be aware of?

Hey WineO!

Thanks for the note. I turned on my e-mail from this site, so if you click on my name you can send me a note. I realy don't want to post my phone number on here right now...... As far as wineries go, definitely hit Robert Karl (pouring their cab sav and claret - their killer rose' of Cab Franc is due soon...), and Barrister (Pepperbridge Cab Sav is awesome, and only $32 if they have any left; a few different syrahs, a nice merlot, Rough Justice - an awesome blend priced at $20, and their new sauvignon blanc. Grande Ronde is also worth the visit, with some nicely aged reds (2002 and 2003 vintage cabs and merlots) that are drinking very well. Townshend always pours about 8 different wines, with a nice mix of reds and whites. They are laying off the oak a little on their whites, and those have gotten much better. If you go there, say hi to Jill, the tasting room manager. (Note - I live less than a mile from there.) Lone Canary is good, and just about the only place you can get their reserve and single varietal wines. Their inexpensive blends are really good. Latah Creek is good if you like sweet whites and sweet blends and sweet..... you get the picture. Great tasting room, though. If you have the time, I would hit Nodland Cellars, out on Montgomery near Argonne. They only do 2 wines, a white riesling called BeBop that is pretty good, and their Private Blend, a Bordeaux blend that is worth every penny of the $35 they ask. Beyond that, I won't discuss any other wineries. After the whole Basel Cellars thing (thanks for the back-up, by the way! heeheehaaaa) I am learning to shut my mouth on places that I don't seem to appreciate!

If you write back fast enough, I will stay on line.

Cheers!
Tim

How was the Spokane winery tour, WineO?

Yo WineO!

Just checking to see how your Spokane winery tour went, and what you thought the successes were. Hope you had fun! I never heard back from ya, ya bum..... We stayed home Saturday night and had a Rulo Syrca as an appetizer and dessert (very nice tasted from the bottle, and killer decanted a few hours later!!) and one of the strangest sauvignon blancs we have ever had (with our ahi tuna tartare's - I know..... red wine, then white, then red again??), which came from a new, local winery. It had a total ripe pineapple thing going on and seemed almost off-dry. If it didn't say "sauvignon blanc" on the label, I would have sworn it was a warm climate riesling with maybe 1% RS. Not a bad wine at all, it just seemed to be mislabeled or something..... oh well!

Let us all know about the trip!

Spokane Memorial day

Hey Tim and all, I don't mind saying that our Memorial day in Spokane is driven by our trip to our familys' cemetary site in Springdale and my Great x3 Grandfathers grave at Veterans. He was a civil war vet and was a POW at a couple of the most infamous Confederate camps (Andersonville,ect). BUT, after those activities we did have time to get to a few of our favorites. We visited Lone Canary, had a nice discussion with Mike, and again marveled at his very well made wines and the quite resonable prices he charges. The Barbera is a steal for about 15$. We got to Latah on Sun. morn and had a great discussion with the Conleys. Being the vets in the industry they are always brings some new knowledge to light for us. And still their sweet wines are superb. Grande Ronde was as always, over priced but good quality wine. We did get to try a couple of Mountain Dome bubblys that were very good. I liked the regular Brut and the rose. The Cuvee Forte is excellent with an toasted almond finish that I loved. Townsend is as always also. Good up and down the line but nothing really jumped out at me. Maybe the Huckleberry. And finally we got into Barrister, Mike and Greg were working the counter ands the banter was flowing. As was the excellent wine. Was not particularily impressed with the 2 syrahs or the Sav Blanc. They were all very drinkable but, I thought without any remarkable qualitys. I am very spoiled on both those varietals though. All others were exceptional. The merlot I was especially impresseed with. A very big, juicy, dark cherry, nice oak, and long beautiful finish, Think Zerba 05, Cougar Crest 05, Fidelitas Champoux, ect. Only a few are that good. As always, Iguess I don't want it to get boring, the new 06 Cab Franc is as good as the 02, 04, 05. Nough said? The cab was very good, but in my opinion it needs to be laid down for another year + for it to shine. And it will. Also, the artwork up at Barrister is top notch. Even if a person might not be a wineO, God forbid, they would still enjoy the art display. I was disappointed that we attempted to go to R Karl and they were closed early on Memorial day weekend? As was Vintage Hill. I am not sure they are even open at all. I would guess that's who you were referring to with your comment about their Sauv Blanc? I seem to remember from our one trip there that your discriptors were in line with mine. Anyway, that's all the time we had. I do want to get out to Cour d' Alene Cellars as we have never been there and I hear they have a very good Vio among others. We are looking forward to doing the holiday tasting in Spokane in Nov. Out.

Spokane trip

Hey WineO!

Glad to hear that you had a good time in Spokane. I agree with just about everything you said. Lone Canary is, for some reason, an underrated and underappreciated winery. They make some really nice wines that are priced great. At Barrister, did you have the Walla Walla (Morrison Lane) syrah? They were just about out of that a few weeks ago. It was blended with viognier and was superb - as good as anything we had in Walla Walla a few weeks back, and priced lower than many. Their PepperBridge cab is indeed quite nice, and it does need a bit more time in the bottle. Decanted now, however, it is excellent. Townshend is always solid, and I am glad to see they are using less oak in their whites. We are big fans of their Red Table Wine and their other two inexpensive blends, Vortex Red and T3. Although, at $17 a pop or whatever for the T3, I can get into the Fidelitas M100, Barnard Griffin Cab, Merlot, or Syrah, several of the Chandler Reach wines, many of the Rulo and JLC wines, and an untold number of other gems that are on everyone's favorite lists. Bummers about Robert Karl being closed. And yes, Vintage Hill did produced that funky sauvignon blanc I wrote about. It wasn't bad, it just drank like an off-dry riesling, which was bizarre! Anyway, glad to hear you had fun, and the next time you get this way, bring that Kana.....

revisit Spokane

Tim again hit some very good wines and wineries! The two comments I would add are; Arbor Crest 04 Waluke Cab and Petit Sirah. The Petit Syrah rivals any, CA.-S Africa, Aus. wherever. The other is Latah Creek makes some of the best light roses and sweet wines (Muscats) around, very over looked. And my wife will tell ya that they easily have the best wine shop assortment (huge) and great folks.

Latah Creek

Hey WineO!

I have heard that Latah Creek makes some great sweet wines. I am not a big fan of sweet whites, although I do enjoy a monstrous port once in awhile..... They do have a great facility, even with the funky freeway location, and I appreciate their price structure. I would LOVE to check out the Arbor Crest Petit Syrah!! We have some great ones from the Napa and Sonoma areas (Quivira makes a great one, and Robert Biale's is also killer). I haven't had their Wahluke Cab, although it sounds like I should! (moment of truth.... I am drinking an Arbor Crest 2003 syrah right now....) I love Fielding Hills, and all of their fruit is estate grown from the Wahluke Slope. Barrister's cab franc is made with quite a bit of Sagemoor's Weinbau Vineyard fruit, which is on the Wahluke Slope. Thanks for the head's up on those wines!

Arbor Crest Petite Sirah

I've tasted the Arbor Crest Petite Sirah in recent months, and it was delicious. Of the half-dozen or so Northwest Petite Sirahs I've come across, it ranks up there with the Thurston Wolfe Petite Sirah from the Horse Heaven Hills.

I have a deep passion for Petite Sirah (my wife might call it an obsession), and the Northwest Petite Sirahs don't necessarily have the sturdiness of their California counterparts, but I think that has a lot to do with vine age. The Thurston Wolfe PS's have good structure but also have a certain jamminess to them that make them approachable in their youth.

That said, I made a sorbet from a Thurston Wolfe PS, and that was the most tannic sorbet I've ever had! A group of friends put on a Petite Sirah dinner, in which I supplied six PS's from six different California appellations (Napa, Mendocino, Lodi, Sierra Foothills, Alexander Valley and Stag's Leap), with the sorbet as a palate cleanser before the main course.

As you may know, Oregon wineries can now legally call their Petite Sirahs by that name, rather than the less-desirable Durif. The first to come out with a wine labeled "Petite Sirah" is Spangler Vineyards in the Umpqua Valley.

I could go on all day about Petite Sirah. ...

Spokane

I was going to say something about Spokane wine tasting awhile back, but better late than never. We have participated at 5 of Spokanes' events and had a wonderfull time at each. Very friendly people, lower key than Yak or WW, and as good of wine as any tasted anywhere. A very relaxing two days, and can easily be done in 1 1/2. Of particular note with us are Arbor Crest (go up on the cliff), Barrister, Grande Ronde, and Lone Canary. We unfortunately can't attend this year but will be wishing we could.

Spokane wineries

Amen WineO!

I have been to all of the Spokane area wineries. If you want any recommendations, in my humble opinion, the best "wines" will be found at Barrister, Robert Karl Cellars, Grande Ronde, Nodland Cellars, Townshend Cellars, Lone Canary, and Arbor Crest. Of course, those are in no particular order..... Barrister is famous for their Cab Franc, but the new Pepper Bridge Cab Sav is outstanding and all of their syrahs are great. Be sure to check out the Morrison Lane syrah, co-fermented with viognier. It is absolutely stunning. They also just released their popular Rough Justice blend, which is much more fruit forward than in years past. Robert Karl wines are built for the long haul. Their cab sav blows away most wines in the country at the $28 price point. The Inspiration Reserve (around $42) is one you can lay down for 5 to 10 years. It is simply amazing. Their syrah, if available, has multiple layers once it opens up. And if they have it ready to go, don't miss their Rose' of Cab Franc! Grande Ronde' is, for some reason, very overlooked. They also have a Pepper Bridge cab sav that has beautiful notes of black olive as well as plum/cassis fruit and extended barrel time. The 2005 release of Cellar Red is really tasty, after what I consider a "mediocre" 2004 release. Nodland Cellars, a new winery, does just two wines. A red blend, the Private Reserve, is a total Bordeaux blend that shows a very deft hand at the mixing table. The white, a riesling-based wine called BeBop, is equally good. Lone Canary does some very nice reserve wines, but for me, their daily drinkers ($13-$18) are worth the trip alone. Townshend Cellars makes about 20 (!) different wines, several of which are very good. You can also buy the T3, their famous restaurant blend, at the winery, and their new "Red Table Wine" is a very tasty wine at a killer $11 (often $8.99 in grocery stores.) Arbor Crest is the most stunning facility in the area, and they also make some pretty good wines. Their merlot is always good, and I really like their Cab Franc. The only challenge I have is that their wines are pretty expensive at their gorgeous facility. For example, their Cab Franc was $27 last time I was their, and I buy it for $14.68 (not on sale) at Yokes. For that price, I love it. For $27, I have plenty of other options..... Of course, their are a few other wineries in the area that are worth checking out, but hopefully this will whet your appetite for some fine "Spokane" wines!

Lone Canary
