Walla Walla Winemaker Receives Another Winemaker of the Year Honor.
Winemaker of the Year
Charles Smith
A powerhouse in the Washington wine world, Charles Smith (509.526.5230; charlessmithwines.com), K Vintners’ owner/winemaker, has been admired and vilified for his no-nonsense approach to wine—“It’s just booze, drink it!”—and his ability to create a buzz around whatever he touches. His Modernist Project is a collection of wines that show “varietal typicity” (i.e., Merlot that tastes like Merlot), as well as being affordable and approachable while young. The names of his wines are irreverent—Old Bones Syrah, Kung Fu Girl, The Velvet Devil Merlot, Boom! Boom! Syrah—and the wines themselves are just as in your face, or rather, in your mouth, with full-flavored fruit and an earthy and oaky intensity that have become synonymous with the dynamic changes constantly in play in Washington wine.

Making wine is more than following a recipe and crafting a beverage.
It is an art.
From the soil, to the the sunlight. The fruit to the fermentation, and all the way from the barrel to the bottle. A winemaker leaves their unique fingerprint on every wine.
Next time you see a winemaker, tell them thank you for putting so much work into their art.

8-Bit Vintners in Walla Walla melds wonderful wine with viral marketing.
8-Bit Vintners combines a love for all things wine, with a love for classic video games. Not only does winemaker Mike’s wine produce big flavor, but it’s arguable the best new wine label out of Walla Walla.
