Please join The Local Vine for an exclusive series of classes beginning Monday February 8th. Featuring eight of the world’s most respected winemakers, we will be tasting the wines they craft from both Washington and the regions that made them famous. Including wines made by Randy Dunn, Ernst Loosen, Philipe Melka and Piero Antinori this is a rare opportunity to indulge, learn, and experience first-hand the revolutionary impact Washington wine is making on the world stage.

All classes are from 6:00 – 7:00 and the cost is $25 per tasting or $80 for all four. This includes 10% off any additional food or wine purchases made the evening of the event. Each class will be limited to 12 people and we expect them to sell out fast.

For additional information or to make reservations please call 206-280-1429 or e-mail cole@thelocalvine.com.

Each tasting will feature a dynamic flight of four wines, two from each winemaker, guided by one of Washington’s wine industry leaders. Each flight will be served blind in order to highlight Washington’s quality and fantastic value.

Our goal is to share and explore the complex flavors of Washington’s amazing terroir as interpreted by the hands of some of the world’s most revered winemakers. Each tasting will showcase wines, often rare, made from the same varietals and the same winemaker.
