Join us next week for Friday Night Social with Deuce Cellars and Arlyn Vineyards, featuring a taste of Washington and Oregon w**e country!

Deuce Cellars is a boutique w**ery with a passion for big, beautiful Washington Syrah. Their Stone Thistle vineyard sits in the River Rocks of northeast Walla Walla Valley. Each vintage is aged in Missouri oak barrels for 32 to 34 months, then bottle-aged for 2 to 3 years before release. We’ll be tasting the 2019 and the just-released 2020.

Arlyn Vineyard is a woman-owned w**ery nestled in Oregon’s Chehalem Mountains. Founded by Janis Pate in 2012 and named in honor of her mother, Arlyn is dedicated to organic and biodynamic farming. Its small-batch w**es celebrate the unique character of the Willamette Valley. We’ll be tasting Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Gamay Noir from biodynamic varietals.

Tastings will be ongoing from 4-7pm next Friday, and drop-ins are welcome. The $24 tasting fee is waived with the purchase of 2 or more bottles. If you’d like to purchase tickets in advance, you can do so right here: https://square.link/u/GuHz8Ff8
