8 Great Places to Drink Wine in Walla Walla | Eater Seattle
"At the far end of the Walla Walla airport is what’s known as the area’s wine “incubator,” five side-by-side facilities made available to start-up producers for four-year stints. The latest fledgling operation is SMAK, run by Fiona Mak, a rare female winemaker with an even rarer business model. She makes rosé exclusively, in three varieties: sangiovese, pinot gris, and a syrah-counoise-mourvedre blend. A visit here can be a palate cleanser after tasting robust reds elsewhere, and the tasting room is a refreshing change of pace, too: an airy, white-and-pastel setting that feels like a little piece of Southern California." - Matthew Lombardi
