Harvest has wrapped up, busy season is slowing down, and the holidays are right around the corner. All of these signs point to Thanksgiving arriving very soon! Besides turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and butternut squash soup, we have a lot to be grateful for this season and we wanted to share our top three with you!
Our Incredible Team
We are told this all the time by our patrons and experience it every day ourselves, but we have the best team in the game. From John Patterson to our cellar team to our tasting room staff, we are beyond lucky to have such quality people representing Patterson Cellars.
With so much going on every day at our four of our tasting rooms, we would not be able to host industry nights, special events, or amazing daily tastings and experiences without the quality and quantity of our team’s work. So, glasses up to all of the amazing Patterson Cellars team members who we are oh so thankful for. Cheers to you!
A Successful Harvest and Fall Release
The 2019 harvest was bountiful and we could not be more excited to share what comes of it with you in the future. We brought in fruit from Red Mountain, Yakima Valley, Walla Walla Valley, and more.
We’re also very thankful for a successful fall release! Our wine club pick-up parties were so much fun and we had fantastic turnouts. Thank you to all the members who made fall release month one of the best we’ve had! We released six wines - 2016 Syrah Sirah, 2016 Malbec, 2017 Zinfandel (our first ever), 2016 Red Mountain Cuvée, 2016 Petit Verdot, and we also just released the 2018 Blanc de Blancs Sparkling Chardonnay for all of you sparkling fans out there. The Patterson Cellars team is so proud of these releases and hope you will get a chance to taste them very soon if you haven’t already!
All of You!
Choosing just the top three things we’re thankful for wasn’t easy, but we couldn’t put out a list that didn’t include you! We’d be nothing without your support as we love the process of making wine, but we love sharing it with the world more. A big thanks to everyone who has ever visited a Patterson Cellars tasting room, sat down for an experience, enjoyed a bottle of wine, or suggested us to your friends. We’re grateful to have created such an amazing, smart, and exquisite community in this little Northwest corner of the country that we call home.
We could continue on with everything we are thankful for this year, but we’ll leave you with these top three. Hopefully, we’ve inspired you to reflect on what you’re thankful for. Cheers to a happy and healthy Thanksgiving and start to the holiday season!
