In Stores Now.

Posted by on Aug 16, 2009

WineGirl Wines’ Kamari Black Label is now available for sale in stores. Well, it’s for sale in a store. In the past, we were able to get our wines onto the lips of the public through direct sales. As WineGirl Wines grows, so too must our reach to potential new fans. This week, QFC on Mercer Island (near Seattle, Washington) made a place on their shelves for our Kamari Cabernet Franc.

What does a WineGirl do?

2009 Build a Treehouse Wine Party

Posted by on Aug 5, 2009

Well, it was a smashing success. Not as smashing as last year (we started the night with 60 wine glasses and woke up with only 24), but smashing none the less. The press artist Amy Redmond was there with her block press art a splendor! It was such a gorgeous treat to see her art and I even purchased a piece. Then local artist Katie McMullin was there, too. She too had amazing collage and paintings on display. She has amazingly vivid pieces and I hope to work with her on a new Firá label in the likes of a beautiful bird like this: We even had some of Javier’s family from the East coast...
