On January 24th, the Eastside Business Journal reported the passing of Charles Lill of DeLille Cellars:

It is with great sadness and fond reflection that we share with you the passing of Charles Lill, co-founder of DeLille Cellars. Charles died peacefully on the morning of January 12 after a long battle with congestive heart failure. He was a beloved Husband, Father, Grandfather and Business Leader. He was an amazing man and a true life force that positively touched the lives of so many people. Charles’ charming ways and his passion for family, the people he met, and life in general, was contagious.

The memorial services were held privately for the family, and they requested that in lieu of flowers people send contributions to the Washington Wine Industry Foundation.

Nov 03, 2007 (Sat): In November Woodinville Wine Cellars will be releasing two smaller production wines—the 2005 O.M.O. and the 2005 Merlot. The second vintage of O.M.O (Odd Man Out) made with a 50/50 blend of Petite Verdot and Malbec will blow you away with intense fruit and a nose that fills the room. Don’t hesitate! Merlot is a wine that Woodinville Wine Cellars only produces in extraordinary vintages and the 2005 was indeed extraordinary. Most people wouldn’t guess this was a Merlot because it so rich and complex. Pure melted chocolate in a bottle! When Washington Merlot is on, it’s hard to beat. Hope to see you there, Woodinville Wine Cellars
