McCrea Cellars is one of Washington's oldest wineries, and is the pioneer of Rhone varietals in our area. They produce very limited quantities of award-winning wines, and are considered to be one of only a handful of "5-star" wineries in the State. McCrea is credited with introducing the Northwest most of the Rhone varietals, such as Mourvedre, Cinsault, Picpoul and Marsanne. These wines are very food-friendly, more 'old world' than most local producers, and are hugely popular with chef-owned restaurants. On top of that, they are a terrific value considering the consistently high quality.

Bodegas Ontañon is a multi-generation, family-owned winery located in Rioja Baja founded over 25 years ago. The vineyard lands sit high in the Sierra Yerga Mountains outside of the township of Quel, which has been one of Rioja’s outstanding winemaking centers for three centuries. These high mountains allow the vines to maintain their balance of acidity by cooling down at night to slow the ripening and thereby extending the maturation period to produce more complete and structured grapes…stop over and check out these wonderful Spanish wines.
