LLWC Named 2022 WA Winery To Watch!!!

2022 Washington Winery to Watch!
We are excited and humbled to be named the 2022 Washington Winery to Watch by Great Northwest Wine. We were shocked when we made history with our 7 for 7 Platinum win last fall but to be chosen for this award and listed among some of the best wineries in the state is truly an honor. We’re the first Spokane area producer to be designated with the Winery to Watch recognition from this publisher and the first Spokane area producer the magazine has recognized with a state-level award since Arbor Crest Wine Cellars was designated the WA Winery of the Year magazine in 2003. The article isn’t posted online yet, but we do have copies of the magazine in the tasting room if you'd like to read about us and the other winners.

Thanks to this award, we’re releasing our 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon early! This vintage is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and is the perfect representation of this powerhouse Red Mountain varietal. It carries strong notes of cherry on the nose and palate with additional flavors of eucalyptus, cedar, and cocoa nibs. This well balanced wine with vibrant acidity will be an immediate dinner table favorite.

Italian Happy Hour Fridays 5-7 pm!
We’re excited to bring a little bit of Italy back to Liberty Lake Wine Cellars! Join us every Friday from 5 – 7 p.m. for what we’re designating Italian Happy Hour. We’ll be serving snacks with each in-house purchase.

Low Inventory!
We’re running very low on our 2018 Zinfandel (the last vintage of Zinfandel we’ll have until the release of our 2021 vintage in 2023!) and our 2018 Malbec. Stop in and grab a bottle for your wine cellar before they’re gone!

Closed for Easter
We’ll be closed Sunday, April 17th for Easter. (It is also World Malbec Day, and our 2018 Malbec would pair perfectly with your Easter celebration).

Upcoming Events

• Wine Club Members, mark your calendars for the weekend of April 30th; it’s wine club time! Be on the lookout for an email with more details.

• Spring Release Weekend is happening May 6th through 8th! We’ll have new releases (Petit Verdot, Syrah, and our newest Rose’), wine specials, and vendors (Liberty Boardworks and Melissameli Jewelry) to celebrate all the Mother’s in our lives.

2019 Gewürztraminer Release... This Week!!!

Orange Wine Lovers, It's Back!

We’re very excited to announce the release of our newest wine, 2019 Gewurztraminer! This vintage is made in the orange/skin contact style. It’s not sweet like your typical Gewurztraminer but still has a floral nose of the Gewurztraminer varietal. This wine also scored 90 points from Sean Sullivan of Wine Enthusiast. Here’s what he had to say, “Red Mountain is best known for its power-packed reds. This orange wine comes from 1978 plantings. The aromas jump out of the glass, with notes of lychee, ginger, and flower. Full-bodied, perfumed flavors follow. It carries, with bitters on the finish.” We paired this with bourbon spiced nuts and ginger snaps, delicious! At $18.00/bottle (before wine club discounts), it’s definitely worth a try.

2019 Bad Bishop Merlot Release
Our newest release has been a hit! This wine is sourced from the acclaimed Seven Hills Vineyard in Walla Walla and it's a steal at just $28 a bottle (before wine club discounts). Stop in this week and grab yourself a bottle or two. It won't last long. Trust us, you want it!

Mimosa Sundays are Back!
Join us each Sunday for a mimosa flight. A flight of 4 mimosas for $8.00 (tax included). January we’re featuring orange, cranberry, spiced apple, and grapefruit flights.

Bottles and Bites – Making Date Night Easy
We offer a selection of light bites that pair perfectly with a bottle of LLWC wine. We’re open on Fridays until 8:00 for the perfect date night stop. Or if you’d rather stay in, grab a bottle and bites to go. Order online and pick up on your way home.

Hours
Fridays Noon-8:00 p.m.
Saturdays & Sundays Noon-5:00 p.m.
And don’t forget Wine Club Only Thursdays! Each week we feature a special something for our wine club members. (21+ please) Not a member? Email us and ask us how to join!
