A brand spanking new WINE BAR ... opening in WA State

Post by **Roy Hersh** » Wed Feb 07, 2007 2:02 am

I went down to meet with the two owners of an existing wine shop: Grape Adventure which is about 40 minutes from here in Kent, WA. The owners Scott & Katie are both quite Port savvy and they have a nice selection of wines and Ports. Coming in March, they are moving to new digs, just two doors down from their current location and opening with a 50 seat wine bar with light snacks. Very exciting as there are WAY too few of these types of establishments in the area!

Please have a look at this and if it does not come out well in this posting, you can email and ask to be added to their mailing list. I was quite impressed with their excellent selection and reasonable prices (remember this IS still WA State!). I walked out after purchasing a handful of wines and will return in the future too. Have a good look at their wine club parameters, which is pretty progressive. I like to support nice folks!

Roy, I'm hurt! This fantastic wine shop is only 10 minutes from my house and you never mentioned them before!

I'm heading down there tomorrow!

Jon,

Let me know what you think, and let them know you heard it through the FTLOP grape vine. 8)
