Long Shadows Vintners is a consortium of ultra-premium wineries. Led by Washington wine pioneer Allen Shoup,
Long Shadows has brought a “dream team” of world-renowned vintners to Washington State’s
Columbia Valley.
Saturday June 14th, at 6:00 p.m.,
Enoteca will be sharing all seven Long Shadows Vintners wines.
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.
To taste all of these wines by buying the bottles, it would cost you $375 plus tax. This
is an incredible opportunity to taste them all for only $35.
Who Are the Winemakers and Why Should I Care?
The world’s best wines are all made by great winemakers. The Long Shadows Vintners
winemaking group brings in these winemakers to use Washington State fruit to create world-class bottles.
