I first tasted the Two Vitners Grenache Blanc at Village wines and thought it was fantastic. A month or two later, my boyfriend and I tried their Zinfandel at Prime Steakhouse in Redmond and loved it, too, so I contacted Two Vitners and inquired about their wine club through their website.
Kerri called me on the phone and was friendly and informative about their club benefits so I decided to join, and I am so glad I did. The November release took place shortly after I joined, and although I was unable to attend the party it sounded like a blast. I stopped by the next day to pick up my allocation, and the place was packed. They insisted I take time for a tasting despite the fact that they were very busy, and took their time offering tasting notes, pairing ideas, and told me the stories behind the wines and even the designs of the individual labels. I was really impressed at the level of service and attention I received on such a busy day. Morgan even offered to carry my wine to my car.
That particular allocation had a very unusual gewurztraminer called the OG, which really wowed my friends at a dinner we hosted a few weeks later. It has a heavily floral bouquet, tastes of grapefruit, and has none of the sweetness you would associate with this varietal. If you host wine parties and do blind tastings, I would suggest adding this wine to the mix. It will certainly keep the guessing!
About a month ago I went back to tasting room with some girlfriends and once again had a great experience - the place had at least a dozen other customers tasting while we were there but somehow Randy made us feel like we were the only people in the room. He was fun, friendly, knowledgeable and interactive - at one point he and I actually sang a duet!
You could tell the other customers were having a blast as well, everyone was smiling, laughing and buying wine.
A few of my friends had never tasted their wines and loved them - everyone bought at least a bottle to take home.
I highly recommend the wines, tasting room, and the wine club. Club benefits include waived tasting fees, discounts on purchases and free release parties and other events. Next Saturday is their Club Member Appreciation party - free to club members with food catered by Barking Frog. They will be unveiling a special club only wine at this event and I can't wait to taste it! They also have several club member specials this month, offering steep discounts on select wines. One of the best wine clubs around!
