Sonoris Wines

with winemaker Hillary Sjolund

Saturday April 20th, 2 pm

Washington keeps sprouting new wineries like dandle ions in Spring. It’s hard to keep track of them, but this Saturday will get a bead on Sonoris Wines. Winemaker Hilllary Sjorlund worked at Pine Ridge in Napa and at DiStefano here in Washington before opening her own winery in 2011. Sonoris means “to resonate.” Stop by and see if the wines resonate with you. Hillary will be here to tell you more.
