We will try to update this page occasionally to let you know how they're aging, and to let you know if a particular wine is approaching it's peak so you'll have time to enjoy it at it's best.

Our current releases are available Our wines page.

If you're interested in our future plans (plantings, etc.) please see our Possible future wines page.

• Müller Thurgau 2005
  Released: Mar-2007, Sold out: Nov-2007, Quantity: 59 cases, Retail price $14.00
  Current notes: (Jan-2008) Is drinking very nicely now, though the nose has tamed down slightly. Enjoy by this summer.
  Original notes: We maintain a half-acre of grapes originally planted in 1981 by our neighbor Bainbridge Island Vineyards & Winery. From this block we are producing delicate floral wine in a clean (un-oaked) bone dry (swiss) style.
  Original tasting notes: An outstanding wine for matching with seafood.

• Müller Thurgau 2006
  Released: Nov-2007, Sold out: Jan-2009, Quantity: 58 cases, Retail price $16.00
  Current notes: (Jan-2009) Is drinking well now, though the fruitiness has settled down and a more steadfast strength has come up on the tongue. It's wonderful to compare this side-to-side with the 2007 release. Overall, it has past it's prime -- enjoy by this summer.
  

  Original notes: Our family hand maintains a half acre block of vines originally planted in 1981 by our neighbors at Bainbridge Island Vineyard & Winery. From this block we've harvested about a ton of grapes, yielding 58 cases of wine.

  The vineyard being in the Puget Sound American Viticultural Area (AVA) means we get all the benefits of the maritime-influenced cool climate growing area as well as the extended length days of our more northerly latitude. What all this leads to is the most fragrant and aromatic wines imaginable...

  We brought in the 2006 harvest with excellent numbers and clean bright flavors. It is a dry white wine, and is an excellent accompaniment to most fish and other seafoods; it especially shines with Mike's specialty Dill-Caper Chicken. This wine was not intended to be aged -- please enjoy it young, while its fresh fruit aromatics are at their peak.

  Original tasting notes: This is a German cool climate wine, which are typically light, fruity, and lower in alcohol. Perennial Vintners wine is made in a dry style, with crisp acidity and overtones of peaches, apricots and pineapple. It was fermented entirely in stainless steel, and aged partially in neutral barrels to enhance complexity. An outstanding wine for matching with seafood.

• Müller Thurgau 2007
  

• Ichigo (2008)
  Released: 22-Nov-2008, Sold out: Mar-2008?, Quantity: 14 cases (500ml btls), Retail price $22.00
  Current notes: (Oct-2009) Has added some complexity, but there's not enough fruit left -- if you have any, best to open it up.
  Original notes: (Pronounced eech-e-go.) We've done something entirely new to us and created a strawberry liqueur. Made from 100% Bainbridge Island strawberries, with grape neutral spirits added, this is a fine after-dinner digestif. A close friend suggests having Ichigo as a "great way to finish up a backyard bbq with friends".

  Original tasting notes: Amazing strawberry scents in the nose, great "legs" in the glass. This wine is 19% alcohol, so be sure to sip it lightly to enjoy it to the fullest. Please note that this new lot of wine is quite different than the original 2008 release -- like our Frambelle, this lot is all about the simple fresh fruit aromas and flavors.

• Frambelle (2008)
  Released: 12-Feb-2009, Sold out: Apr-2009?, Quantity: 11 cases (500ml btls), Retail price $24.00
  Current notes: (Oct-2009) Just plain wonderful! The fruit has subdued slightly, but a slight softening has made it even nicer.
  Original notes: When we took the plunge to try our hand at making our first port-style wine (Ichigo), we really dove in, and also made a raspberry liqueur. Made from 100% Bainbridge Island raspberries and grape neutral spirits, this is a fine after-dinner digestif. You'll immediately be looking for the dark chocolate bar to go with it!

  Original tasting notes: You're greeted with stunning fresh raspberry aromas, and on the tongue a touch of sweetness with just enough acid to keep it from being a cloying pancake syrup. This wine is 19% alcohol, so be sure to sip it lightly to enjoy it to the fullest.

  [Added somewhat later] Although it may sound sacreligous, this wine can also be layered carefully into a narrow cordial glass with a Limoncello. If poured gently, the two liquers will each maintain their own level for seperate red and yellow layers -- delicious! (See our recipes page for details.)

• Ichigo Lot 2 (2008)
  Released: Apr-2008?, Sold out: May-2008?, Quantity: 19 cases(500ml btls), Retail price $22.00
  Current notes: (Oct-2008) Softened up a bit, but still enough acidity to give it a good mouthfeel -- overall drinking quite well now.
