Why West Coast Wines?

The wine world can be intimidating. And a little stuffy. And a lot pretentious (what do you mean this wine is unctuous?). It’s full of complicated rules and obscure provenances in foreign languages. And sometimes that’s fun, but most people (me) just want to open a bottle you know will be good and share a glass with a friend or two.

I’ve found that the easiest way to get into wine is to look local. The U.S. produces some incredible wines, over 80% of which are grown in just three states: Washington, Oregon, and California. That’s a lot of juice. And thanks to the hundreds of winemakers up and down the coast who honor and challenge traditional wine-making methods, that juice is pretty exceptional.

Not a bad place to start.

About Me

I grew up in the Yakima Valley (WA) just as the region was gaining some cred as a wine destination. In 2005 my parents started a small winery, and for 20 years locals have enjoyed their wines direct from their tasting room. But for smaller wineries, reaching a larger audience can be a struggle. I want to connect wine makers with new customers, and help wine lovers like you find their next favorite bottle.

And I want to drink really good wine.
