Washington Wine Report reviews Kamari wines
Washington Wine Report is the work of Sean Sullivan. Sean reviews wines and provides news about the wine industry in this state. He relieves the community of Washington wine lovers of a burden by taking on the task of sorting out all the many wines from the many Washington winemakers. It’s a serious task, but Sean seems to have a passion for, not only, reporting on Washington’s wines but unraveling the stories behind the wines and wineries. The writing is appropriately detailed but not so overly descriptive that he has to invent adjectives to finish a paragraph. Sometimes, we...

The first to be put down was the Kamari Malbec. The blending process started off so smoothly, but as this game often goes, the tables turned and wine spilled. Actually, in this case, wine sprayed. Fine red wine sprayed on me, on the virgin ceiling, on the whitewashed walls, and on the new stacked cases of...
Read MoreA Perfect Pairing
Each Friday from 4 – 6PM we’re getting together with the Lake Chelan Cheese for our Perfect Pairing Event. Last Friday September 4th, we put our Firá Gewurztraminer, My Derby Wife Merlot, and Kamari Black Label Reserve Malbec to the test. The kids from the Cheese Shop came back at us with stinky Gorgonzola Piccante, pressed Comté, and nutty Emmentaler. It was such fun to share with locals and tourists alike the bounty of two little, neighboring businesses on the North Shore of Lake Chelan in Manson. The fan fave was the Firá Gewurztraminer and Gorgonzola...
Read More20something 2009
What a night! 800 ticket holders and 75 Washington state wineries crowded into the Fremont Studios to taste wine, try gourmet foods, and simply be seen. Hosted by the Washington Wine Commission, the fifth annual 20something event boasted local chef Tom Douglas’s pork head, Ray’s Cafe Thai curry penne, and my new personal favorite coffee roaster Stumptown Coffee. Yum Yum. So, while the night started off at 6PM, the majority of the peeps came strolling in around 7PM in a true fashionably-late style. Pouring our 2008 Columbia Valley Firá Chardonnay and 2007 Walla Walla Valley...
