  Tastings New Arrivals Spencer's Pick  


We admit we're a little spoiled here in the Wine Shop. We get to taste dozens of wines every week. Most are just so-so. Others, the rare few, make an impression strong enough to wedge their way onto our crowded shelves. More often than not, these select wines are from small, family producers - pure representations of the glorious fruit of their origin.
This section of the Wine Shop site is dedicated to shedding some light on these little gems. We hope you find a wine you like as much as we like these...



 Fall Line Winery

Tim Sorenson and his wife, Nancy Rivenburgh own and operate Fall Line Winery in the Georgetown area of south Seattle. In a crowded field of gentlemen winemakers and blockbuster wines, their winery is a quiet success story whose humble roots trace to another humble, remarkable wine maker, Ben Smith of Cadence.

Fall Line is quite new (it was bonded in 2004) and in 2006 reached its comfort level for producing quality wine (38 tons). Their wines posses all the balance, grace and depth that Walla Walla and Columbia Valley grapes are capable of. The Horse Haven blend is a classic Bordeaux blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Red fruits burst from a glass of the Horse Haven Blend. The Red Mountain Blend is another Bordeaux blend from Artz vineyard. The Red Mountain Blend has depth and power - very earthy with tobacco and truffle. Fall Line's Cabernet Sauvignon is all Columbia Valley with chocolate, blackberry and leather.

We are proud to carry Tim and Nancy's wines and we hope you will enjoy a bottle soon before this wonderful boutique-winery's wines are sold out.
