Two Mountain Winery Wine Tasting
Start the weekend out right at Enoteca – Fine Wine & Beer!
This Friday from 4-7 Enoteca will be hosting Matthew Rawn, owner and winemaker of Two Mountain Winery of Zillah, Washington as he shares a selection of Two Mountain wines. We will be tasting Saturday from 12-7 as well, which is a great time to taste wine to beat the rush. Taste a flight (2 oz. each of 4 wines, 1 oz. of port) for $10 per flight, and follow up for $5 per 5 oz. glass (excluding port).
Two Mountain Winery and vineyard is a family-owned operation that produces approachable, handcrafted wines that are worth saving for that special occasion, but are accessibly priced for a casual dinner with family and friends. Brothers Matthew and Patrick Rawn own and operate the winery and estate vineyard, overseeing every aspect of the winemaking process from the grapes to the glass.
Two Mountain Dry Riesling 2007 (Yakima Valley, Washington)
Crisp clean aromas of ripe white flesh peaches, apricots, honeysuckle and a inklings of over-ripe pear followed by wonderful flavors of melon, pomello, peaches, honey and apricots.
[Member: $11.69 / Retail: $12.99]
Two Mountain Hidden Horse IV Red Blend (Yakima Valley, Washington)
A wonderful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Lemberger you can taste, smell and savor!! Starting with enticing aromas of mocha, coffee, overripe Bing cherry and lingering deep raspberry/ Marionberry melody the wine then progresses in the mouth with a surprise of coco, mocha, ripe red fruit, smokey-ness, ripe plum and wonderful soft tannins.
[Member: $16.19 / Retail: $17.99]
Two Mountain Merlot 2004 (Yakima Valley, Washington)
Initially this wine screams of blackberry and fresh ripe Bing Cherries making you think of all of your favorite summer fruits and berries. As one delves deeper into this surprising gem, hints of rose petal, eucalyptus, clove, cocoa, tar and a nice edge of oak awaken your senses to a point of excitement. The deep color and fruit from the nose through the finish this classical Washington State Merlot. Excellent!- Wine Press Northwest, Fall 2007
[Member: $17.99 / Retail: $19.99]
Two Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 (Yakima Valley, Washington)
This beautifully balanced Cabernet opens with stunning aromas of blackberry, dark cherry, allspice and toasty French oak. With flavors of blackberry, plum, dark bing cherry, and tobacco framed by the French oak and soft velvety tannins this Cabernet is a pleasure now or cellared. Outstanding!!- Wine Press Northwest, Spring 2008
[Member: $21.59 / Retail: $23.99]
Two Mountain Port
Rumor has it that Matthew will be bringing a special port to try, only at this event!
Special Note: Cabernet Franc lovers take note, we have the excellent Two Mountain Cab Franc on the shelf, but availability is too limited to taste this weekend.

hop superstars. Can you imagine a beer made with hops from New Zealand? What would that be
like? Sierra Nevada Brewing Company has a proud history as one of the pioneers of the craft

with a pile of stories and great information about these hoppy beers.

Washington State has a secret weapon in the wine making world. Allen Shoup. Allen is the visionary behind
the Long Shadows project, which brings in the best wine makers in the world to make great Washignton State wines.
We love these wines so much we want to share them with as many people as possible.
Saturday June 14th, at 6:00 p.m., at Enoteca in Post Falls, we will be sharing all seven Long Shadows Vintners wines. Here is the list: Poet’s Leap Riesling, Chester-Kidder, Pirouette, Sequel Syrah, Saggi, Pedestal Merlot, and of course the Feather Cabernet Sauvignon. 2 oz. of each wine will be poured. This is a unique opportunity as these wines are extremely limited in nature and this is the only time of year we can get them all together in one place. As with all of our tasting events, the ticket price is simply to cover the cost of pouring the wine. The tasting starts at 6 p.m. on Saturday, June 14th. Tickets to attend are $35 per seat, paid in advance. Only 20 seats are available to this event. To find out why and for complete details regarding the Long Shadows Vintners tasting event, click here.
