We have a fun lineup for tasting this weekend, starting and ending with NW Field Blends. Field blends are where you pick the grapes in a vineyard and ferment them together. In the right hands the results are integrated and delicious. In-between these two we’ll be tasting a classic Provence Rosé and a juicy Southern French red. Something to sip on while you watch the Olympics. Stop in the shop and check them out.
