If you are flying into Walla Walla... definitely swing by Elegante and say Hi to Doug before…read moreheading to wherever you are going and pick up a bottle or 2 or 6. Elegante is about 1/4 mile or so from the airport. It's super close and easy to find. Doug is a hoot! He is nice and has all sorts of wisdom and stories to share. He once worked on a strawberry farm... his main career was a high school chemistry teacher and athletic director for many many years ...... and now that he is retired.... and has time on his hands... he's enjoying his other passion as a winemaker. We blew in on a cold blustery Sunday morning before our departing flight at Walla Walla. Elegante was one of the few wine tasting rooms/wineries in the Airport District that was open on Sunday morning. (There are quite a few in this area... but not all are open on Sunday.) We tried 6 different reds. All were beautifully crafted. All are 100% of a given varietal. Doug wants the grapes and terroir to shine on their own. We were especially taken with the Cab, Tempranillo and Syrah. Each was an excellent representation of their varietal while being easy to drink. There were no overpowering tannins or acidity. These wines were nicely balanced and had great fruit and earthy flavors but again were not overpowering in any direction. All these reds were reasonably priced at $44 each. He could charge more but he doesn't because he wants people to be able to enjoy really good wine at a reasonable price. Oh! And he doesn't bottle the same varietal every year. Nope... if he doesn't find the grapes he wants that meet his very high standards... he doesn't make the wine. I love that! Someone who cares more about his product than inventory and $$. He invited us back into the production area and the barrel room where we saw barrels marked with "Zin". This is going to be the first time he's making Zinfandel. I'm envious and excited for anyone who gets to try this. Highly recommend stopping in here. It hits all the marks that I look for in wine. It's small production. It's quaint. It's personal. It's really good.

No reservation needed... we just walked in. Great wines, and you'll (most likely) get wines poured by one of the owners! With it being so close to the airport, my recommendation is to either have it be your first stop when getting someone from the airport (or last), or even make a day of it in that area. Not far from quirk! (A fantastic brewery in Walla Walla). When we went, it was just us and we had a fantastic time chatting with one of the owners. My ONLY feedback for them is that i wish there was some lite jazz (or Harry Styles?) playing. Beyond that, it was fantastic and beat all of my expectations. Left with 2 bottles happily!

Five Star Cellars absolutely blew our minds. The wines are big, bold, and so, so good. Cameron, the…read morewine maker, is awesome. He is fun to talk to, super knowledgeable, and full of stories. He chooses to age his wines longer in barrels and bottles before releasing them so they are ready to be consumed when opened, which sets Five Star apart from other wineries. We mostly tasted 2018 and 2019 reds. That being said, he recommends holding onto wines longer if you can. He has two labels: Five Star Cellars and Ragaire, which are both great. We bought several bottles and HAD to join the wine club, especially since they also have a tasting room in Woodinville. We brought two friends with us, who also loved it so much, they joined the wine club too. Five Star is dog friendly. The tasting room is a little outside of downtown Walla Walla, right next to the airport, but it is not to be missed - a hidden gem in Walla Walla for sure.

We tried 5 wines...all were tasty but we particularly enjoyed the last 2... one was a 100% Cab Sauv and the other was 100% Merlot. It's rare to find wines that are 100% one varietal. They don't have a lot but what they have is high quality and crafted with care. What was really cool... was they had a rock as an example of the Rocks that are in the Rocks district. This area is covered in these rocks which are very heavy and big... and the vines seem to thrive in this environment. A Frenchman long ago saw this area and just knew that he could produce wines from grapes grown in this region.

The tasting room doesn't look like much on the outside, but felt like a gallery inside--old wood floors and spare furniture, lots of natural light. The owner was pretty unceremonious, but we did show up about 10 minutes before closing. We enjoyed a bottle at our leisure later. I'd like to go back and try their other wines on my next visit. The impossible-to-say name, you ask? It is the alignment of three celestial bodies, i.e. The sun, moon, and earth. Maybe they're growin and smokin somethin else alongside the grapes.

As we pulled up to Syzygy, we were greeted by the proprietor's tush as he was bent over tending to…read moreplants out front. Nice butt = +1 star. The tasting room lacked frills - a loveseat centered beneath a picture window, displays of Syzygy-branded merch, the tasting counter discretely tucked away in a corner, orange walls, art strewn about and a telescope (which was just another indicator of the cutie owner's preoccupation with the cosmos). Hunky AND a smidge nerdy = +1 star. Was a bit startled (read: let down) to see that we'd only be tasting four reds, but wound up pleasantly surprised with Syzygy's intense colors, big flavors and dedication to quality - not quantity. My buds were drawn to their two blends: one was a moderately priced $24 and the other was the Saros (a cycle used to predict eclipses of the sun and moon) at $45. Focus on producing great wine = +2 stars. My only gripe was with the object of my affection (a.k.a. the hunky winemaker owner) - he didn't necessarily exude an open/welcoming disposition and wasn't very forthcoming with details about his great product. Tough guy act = -1 star. Left with: * 2005 Saros 134 - 44% Tempranillo, 44% Malbec + 12% Cab Sauvignon = 100% deliciousness * 2006 Red Wine - 56% Syrah, 20% Merlot, 13% Cab Sauvignon + 11% Malbec Notable notes: * Syzygy's interiors could benefit from a womanly touch or some queer eye. * No whites here (varietals, that is). Return rate: 7 (out of 10) * I have a soft spot for the strong, silent type.
