Where’s Wino? The Wine Loft.

The Wine Loft is a great wine shop in Olympia, Washington. This shop received high praise from 100% of the three people I know who live in Olympia. That caught my attention because all three have very different interests but all appreciate honestly unique spots to visit. I stopped into The Wine Loft on a short trip to Olympia and was impressed with the approachability of the owners and the wine selection. This is the wine shop I want in my town because it has friendly folks behind the counter who listen to what customers want and genuinely guide them in the proper direction. These things are refreshing in this wine world and align nicely with our approach at The Blending Room.

At The Wine Loft, you’ll find our 2009 Firá Gewurztraminer, 2008 Firá Cabernet Sauvignon, and 2008 Kamari Cabernet Franc. Stop in to meet the lovely owners, Jim and Mary Jones.

Where’s Wino? Red House.

One of the newest places to find our wines is in Renton, WA at the Red House. They feature fine food and a large selection of beers and wines from local makers and from around the world. They say the atmosphere is “sophisticated and casual” and I would agree. I recently poured our Firás and Kamaris at their weekly Wednesday wine tasting event. Trucking over from Manson was a journey, but worth the trip. The Red House is a cozy place. People were very friendly and in good spirits throughout the night sharing stories and laughs with old and new friends. The wines were well received and the food provided for the event seemed to compliment nicely. The 2010 Firá Cabernet Sauvignon and 2010 Kamari Black Label Reserve Red Wine Blend were the hits of the evening.

The Red House now carries WineGirl Wines’ 2009 Firá Gewurztraminer, 2008 Firá Cab Sav, and 2008 My Derby Wife Merlot. If you need more reason to check them out, look at their full menu online. After the event wound down, I had a chance to enjoy their Red House Paella and it was a delicious and hearty meal. I’d order it again next time and pair it with our Firá Cabernet Sauvignon for a savory sensory experience.

A growing list of where to find our wines is here.

Where’s Wino? Marketime.

We are very excited to have our wines in our local grocery, Marketime. We have lived in Fremont, Seattle within blocks of this great market for 7 or 8 years now and enjoy having a good selection of supplies, food and treats so close. They definitely have a great beer and wine selection which I’ve been taking advantage of as long as I’ve been a customer. And now the special bottles of WineGirl Wines are part of that great wine selection. It’s a big wall of wine, but have a close look and you’ll spot 2007 Kamari Cabernet Franc. The 2008 Firá Chardonnay is around the corner in the white wine cooler. If you don’t already know about Marketime, take a little roadtrip for a visit. After you’ve grabbed a bottle, take a look around for their house-made sausage and delicious chocolate cake. It could be quite a night.

Marketime is in Fremont at 4416 Fremont Ave N, Seattle, WA, 98103.
