Their tasting room location is in Apple Farm Village- which is one of those spots I drive by all the time and think "wow that looks cute, I should go." This time, I actually went. The backside of this building isn't visible from the road, but is SO lovely. They have a beautiful patio with hydrangeas, huge vines, and other plants. It looks like a dream pnw backyard and has so much greenery. They even have a fig tree. It feels very much like the old days of Woodinville when it was all farms- very nostalgic and romantic. The indoor space had great AC and great vibes. It was a pleasure to meet the winemaker- he cares so much about what he does and has a deep knowledge of wine and everything that goes along with it. Their price point is very low for the quality of wines they have. I attended a wine and sushi pairing here and it was out of this world. I feel like this spot may just be one of Woodinville's best kept secrets, but I am ready to let the word out because they truly deserve people to know about them! Not a bad wine in the bunch. From the chablis-style chardonnay to the rich tempranillo, I was impressed throughout. The staff is very proud of their wine, and honestly, I am too. If you want to feel like you are in the lovely garden of a sweet, GENIUS, winemaker and drink his incredible wines, this is your spot. Enjoy the serene patio and definitely dive into their phenomenal selection of white wines.

Cory, the owner and one-man-winemaking operation, is an artist with grapes. His wines are tannin-free, which if you don't like getting punched in the face by a pucker-inducing beverage, you'll probably appreciate. I prefer whites and his albarino and rose are both fantastic, but we enjoyed all of the samples we tasted in the flight. 425 is well worth your time and your support not only helps a one-man operation remain in business, but also supports a veteran and his family.

So what the hay? Jimmy was in charge on this cloudy day of July 5th, 2021. He was helpful, fun, knowledgable, and entertaining. Perhaps it was his effect on the wines, but they were wonderful and approachable, yet with a surprising complexity. The 2018 Marilyn's Blend had depth, mellowed tannins, sophistication, almost like a Margaux. We all had a fantastic time and were sad to leave because of our appointment at DeLille. With Jimmy's help, we all purchased several bottles, and drove on to the corporate, but well run and elegant DeLille Tasting Room. Zerba Cellars is the antithesis to DeLille. It was like tasting wine in a friend's basement, quite different than the current template for tasting rooms. It was a refreshing change and Jimmy is a treasure.

And I know I mentioned not to confuse it with the striped animal, but Zerba knows it's often mistakenly known as Zebra Cellars, which is why they poke fun at themselves and have a picture of a zebra on their bottles and photos in the tasting room. It made me like them even more. We found Zerba Cellars while in Woodinville, as it was featured in our Woodinville passport book. Located on the backside of a building with other wineries, it's a little hidden, but is worth finding. There is parking in the lot for the designated businesses in the building. Once we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the friendly staff. We walked over to the bar area where they were pouring wines and told us to take a seat, as they would come to us with the wines. We took a seat at one of the tables and instantly, one of the employees asked us if he could get a water bowl for our dog. It was very thoughtful, and I just love that they're dog-friendly, unlike the neighboring wineries. For the tastings, we tried five wines: one white, three reds and one dessert wine. I didn't much care for the first one, a chardonnay, but I've never been a fan of sweet wines, like chardonnay. However, the red wines were all solid. We tried the Wild Z, a blend, a zinfandel, and a petite verdot. Of the reds, I enjoyed the Wild Z, which reminded me of a black tea with plum notes. It had a pleasant sourness to it. But I absolutely loved the dessert wine, the New Harvest. It tasted like a port that's less sweet from the red wine. It was unique and different, and would recommend trying it! I enjoyed our visit at Zerba Cellars, and will certainly be back, most likely to purchase some bottles of the New Harvest. Zerba has wonderful, friendly employees, a welcoming setting that allows dogs, and wines that will have you wanting more. See you there!

We had a great time and look forward to returning again in the future.

The…read moretickets were $30 each and you to taste 4 wines paired with 4 chocolates from Brugge Chocolates (located in Redmond). They had multiple sittings on Sunday. We chose our seat at a table for two and were instructed on the process of tasting chocolates and wine. We met the owner of Brugge Chocolates and, of course, the Wine Geek himself, Bob Delf. Each came around multiple times throughout the tasting to see how we were doing and to discuss the varieties. Both were charming and very nice. The tastings came with $15 credits for any bottles we purchased that day as well as a nicely decorated box of 4 chocolate truffles per person. We ended up buying some great tasting wines - The 2018 Madrigal (a blend of 3 varieties) and a Rose. I have been to NW Cellars previously and LOVE the Malbec and bought a bottle at that time. This place is hidden in back of a strip mall in the Totem Lake area and is worth a visit. Bob is a nice person who makes his own wines and really loves what he does. Give this place a try!!

6 stars if I can give it. Well, the wines were 4 stars, but…read morethe service was 6 stars!! Quality/Quantity - Day one of my winery tour (self tour). I have been looking forward to this part of my road trip. Some "me" time. Our first time in this part of WA, so I was not sure what to expect. For the record, ALL the reservations we made were NOT needed. Next WA trip, I am going to Walla Walla, WA! The tasting was okay. Freya was able to let me taste a few other options not on the tasting menu. My favorite part of tastings are the side by side tasting. It gives you a chance to taste the difference. I started with a white and finished with a port; see all my pictures. Happy hour is also available. Got food from next door Vivi Pizzeria; see other Yelp reviews. Ambiance - A small urban winery. A small, very small, parking lot. My truck barely fit in the parking space... A shared parking lot with all the businesses. So there were NOT enough spaces, actually not enough spaces for just one of the businesses. I got lucky with my space I guess. Good thing I am a good driver and parker. I then helped the next person park, lol. Service - Freya was AMAZING. Best service ever! So young and positive. And what a great journey. She has had a fuller life than many and especially at her young age. This winery had the BEST service of all the wineries we visited on this trip. And if you are following, we visited many, many, too many wineries. Freya went out of her way to pull out a map, to go over the region of each wine I was drinking from! Freya was able to handle ALL the tables herself and it was busy. She gave everyone full attention while juggling all her responsibilities. At the end of the night, I can tell she was exhausted. I almost volunteered to help her do dishes, as they were piling up. Lol. Price - $55 + a very generous and well earned tip, thank you!! $30 for our pizza from Vivi.

There were two tastings, a "White and Rosé" and a "Red and White" both of which were really good, and then a few flights you could get. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The decor was pretty. There's a pizza place next door, and they are pretty quick with the food, which was nice! Food was pretty good and the menu was huge. Water was essentially unlimited because the pizza place offers it outside where you can fill up yourself. Very appreciated because I usually need a ton of water when I'm wine tasting.
