Event Description:
Come check out our "Big Reds" tasting this Saturday, December 15th from 1 - 6 p.m. featuring Derek Berger, owner/winemaker of Genoa Cellars in Woodinville. Derek Berger and co-owner Scott Heinrich began making wine together in 2004. Derek and Scott first began making beer in the late 80's while attending Engineering school in Bozeman MT which later evolved into a mutual passion for wine in the 90's. From 1998 to 2001, Scott operated a winetasting web business called TasteofWine.com which provided wine-tasting packages to help people learn about different regions and varietals. Mutual winetasting passion evolved into a winemaking hobby run from Scott's garage starting in 2004 and made its way to Woodinville in 2011. The primary focus is on Super-Tuscan-style wines made from Sangiovese along with varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Merlot from the very best vineyards in Washington state located in regions such as Wahluke Slope and Red Mountain. Wines such as Even Keel, The Boom and Danforth have all been big hits in the past... these are robust, chewy reds with fantastic character. Featured will be several of their reds and one white for good measure! 20% case discounts, mixed ok, on all featured Genoa wines. Glass pours, paninis, cheese plates and good times always!
