Fare Thee Well
After three years serving local wines and wines made from local vineyards, we will be closing the Gorge Wine Merchants wine tasting and wine bar on Friday evening, July 25th, which is only fitting since it’s the Last Friday of the Month, an event we originated two and a half years ago.
We wish to thank all of the people who have supported us, especially local winemakers James & Poppy Mantone of Syncline and Joel & Kris Goodwillie of Wind River Cellars. They have really helped us and they have supported many local start-up wineries. We have seen them go from strength to strength. They were producing award winning wines before we got here three years ago. They have contributed to the world recognition of the Washington wine industry as a world-class force.
We’ve also had a lot of support from the local vineyard growers like Rick and Jody Ensminger, whose effort at Celilo Vineyard on Underwood Mountain has produced grapes regularly used by some of the very best winemakers in America.
A special "Thank you" to Marsha Holliston at the Mt. Adams Chamber of Commerce. She’s been one of our biggest advocates and we have seen her push hard for our local businesses.
We’ve also had a good time meeting many great friends through the shop. We’d like them all to know that we’ll keep bringing great wine if they keep inviting us over for dinner!
Finally, we encourage everyone to think locally and drink locally because it’s already globally good. Trust us on this, we know. It’s also better for our local economy.
