Woodinville Wine Update

SEATTLE, May 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Columbia Winery has announced its designation as an Official Partner of the Seattle Mariners for the 2017 and 2018 Major League Baseball seasons. The two-year sponsorship brings together Washington’s first premium winery with Washington’s favorite Major League Baseball team. Both organizations have deep roots in the local Seattle community and this collaboration will attract wine and baseball fans alike.

“Part of what sets Columbia Winery apart is how it embraces the vibrant culture and spirit of Washington,” said Sean Hails, winemaker for Columbia. “Given that, we couldn’t ask for a better team to partner with than the Seattle Mariners, who are similarly woven into the cultural fabric of our state.”

Columbia Winery has recently undergone a significant packaging update, complemented by ongoing enhancements to its wine. The nationally available wines featuring the new labels are now in markets across the country while the re-labeled tasting room exclusive wines will be revealed throughout the course of 2017.

Lachini Vineyards is having it’s spring release over the next few weekends and also a lunch in their estate vineyards in Oregon. Please RSVP below if you are interested.

Greetings!

Our SPRING RELEASE events are nearly here! We’ve been waiting for these events since we first laid eyes on these beautiful wines back in 2015 harvest. We are excited about our 2015 Pinot noirs as they boast big flavors that provide immediate drinking pleasure, yet possess enough stuffing to age! To round out this release, you’ll find our 2014 Prima Pinot Noir (only the 3^rd vintage of this marvelous wine), 2015 Chardonnay al di là (meaning…’beyond the beyond’) plus 2016 Pinot Gris – just in time for summer! We still have plenty of our 2016 Rosé and will pour this as well for those of you who missed the awesome events last weekend.

We have several events around our PICK-UP parties including a luncheon in the vineyard on Saturday, May 20^th beginning at 10:30am. This is a separate event that is open to wine club members and non-members. These events will be the first opportunity to taste and purchase quantities of these wines, after which we will upload to our website under SPRING 2017 RELEASE for all to purchase for a limited time.

I just received this news from Woodinville Wine Cellars. The good news is that you can still get their wines online.

Dear Friends, We are reaching out today to share some bitter-sweet news with you: our mailing list and Cellar Door club members. As many of you are aware, we have been winding down the winery over the past year in order to shift our focus to our non-profit, Give Back Hope. As a company dedicated to giving back to communities in need all over the world, we have decided to focus our energies and resources to helping those who are less fortunate. As such, the winery will no longer be open to the public, and there will not be any more wine club releases. That being said, we are still here, and there is wine in the cellar waiting to be enjoyed! We will continue to sell wine online and in the winery during normal business hours, and are happy to ship to your home or office. In addition, we do plan to open our doors this fall for one final celebration.  We greatly appreciate your support and dedication to Woodinville Wine Cellars over the years. If you have any questions at all, or would like to make arrangements for shipping or pick up of your wine, please don’t hesitate to send us an email. For more information on Give Back Hope, please visit our website. Our team is heading to our orphanage in Nepal in June to bring supplies and visit the children who live there. If you would like to donate to the cause, please click the button below. Wishing you all the best, The Woodinville Wine Cellars Team Donate to Give Back Hope

Lauren Ashton Cellars Set to Release 2016 Rosé with Proceeds to Susan G. Komen Puget Sound

Woodinville, WA – Lauren Ashton Cellars is set to release their 2016 Rosé to the general public April 22 and April 23, 2017 after much anticipation and months of being sold out of the previous vintage. This year the winery has continued its tradition with the addition of a charitable giving component. This philanthropic element is one that Winemaker Kit Singh hopes will be a longstanding tradition.

“We have a belief in this community and a passion for giving back,” said Singh. “We are able to provide our wine and our time to recipients we believe in. With our Rosé release becoming so popular, we love doing something to get the community involved too,” he went on to say.

Along with wife and co-owner Riinu Rammal, Kit and the team at Lauren Ashton Cellars selected Susan G. Komen Puget Sound as this year’s beneficiary for the Rosé release weekend. A portion of proceeds from sales during the Rosé release weekend will be donated to the local chapter.

“In 2016, we sold 444 bottles of our Rosé during the release weekend and hope to surpass that in 2017 so we can continue to do good in this community and for Susan G. Komen Puget Sound,” said Rammal.

Singh, Rammal and the team at Lauren Ashton Cellars invite you to join them as they “Release the Rosé,” Saturday, April 22 and Sunday, April 23, 2017 at their tasting studio, located in Woodinville’s Hollywood District at 14545 148th Avenue NE, Suite 211, Woodinville, WA 98072. Guests can pre-order the 2016 Rose at: http://laurenashtoncellars.orderport.net/wines/Current-Releases/Current-Releases
