Located at the base of the Blue Mountains in Walla Walla, Washington, K Vintners opened its doors to the public in December 2001 on property homesteaded in 1853 with the adjacent farmhouse built in 1872. K Vintners’ first release was 330 cases of 1999 K Syrah Walla Walla Valley. K Vintners produces small lots of single vineyard syrahs and field blends that are hand-picked, foot-stomped, fermented with naturally occurring yeasts and basket pressed.

In the fall of 2006, a majority of the MWC was sold to Washington State-based Precept Brands. The first Charles Smith Wines were released in the spring of 2007.

Who was pretty smart, and woulda been a Snoother had he lived to these days of the internet. Well before Mr. T. Jefferson went to Paris, Franklin already had a great collection of wine, over a thousand bottles (the biggest percentage ... Read More
