"After Mark Ryan, Sparkman produces our favorite reds in Woodinville. Varietals like Petite Syrah and Cabernet Franc are smoky, bold, and taste like you should be sitting by a bonfire in some coastal beach town. The tasting room is small, a bit boring, and doesn’t have much to it other than a counter and a few quiet people scattered around, so do a tasting to decide which bottle you should bring home for a special occasion (or for the next time you plan on whipping up fireside s’mores)." - Aimee Rizzo
