K-Vintners - Charles Smith

K-Vintners has been one of my absolute favorite wines, in particular his Syrah's. Rich, extracted and utterly delicous, his wines impress critics and consumers.
House Wine presents five Charles Smith - K-Vintners wines for our enjoyment at a low $15 per person.

We start at 6:45pm but it's acceptable to come later. I will have something special in the decanter to finish the evening. You queue up at register on arriving, pay your fee and get your wine glass. We'll will have the main table by the register. It takes about 90 minutes to get through the tasting with good conversation.

The tasting is limited to 20 people so we don't overwhelm the small wine shop and their owners. Respect your fellow members and update your reservation so that those on the wait list may attend.

K-Vintners - Charles Smith: Winemaker Charles Smith managed Rock & Roll bands in Europe for 11 years before moving to Walla Walla and starting K Vintners on a shoestring.

Charles Smith Wines are made for the way that most wines are being consumed today - the day that they are purchased - and are equal parts accessible, affordable and top quality. Charles also produces some of the most interesting and highly rated Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignin in America under his original K Vintners label. K Vintners’ wines are made in very small quantities and are crafted to appeal to the most discriminating connoisseurs.

Food: HW allows outside food. If you like, bring something. Several neighborhood restaurants, including Dewey's Pizza, deliver directly in the wine shop.

Parking: Parking is tough. There are two lots behind House Wine, the second back lot is accessed by a lane between the first back lot and the house to the east. There is a city parking lot one-half block west on New England Avenue. Street parking is also available on High Street. The front lot and first back (east) parking lot are almost always full.
