CLUB WRITEUPS

April 2004 Washington Wine of the Month Club

2001 Leonetti Cellar Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Yep, that´s right—this month´s selection is one (1) wine.   It´s probably the most highly sought-after wine made in the Northwest, and that´s because winemaker Gary Figgins has been making the best wines in the Northwest since before most of the current crop of wineries opened and, in some cases, before their winemakers were born.  Leonetti Cellar is the oldest winery in Walla Walla.  We get minimal amounts of their wine each year, and allocate it to our club members first.  This cost $72.50 (less 10% discount), and it´s fairly well ready to drink.  It will also hold for about five years in the cellar.  There are miniscule quantities of other Leonetti wines in stock (the Cabernet is sold out), and they´ll be available to club members only through April 15th.  After that, they´ll be available on a first-come, first-served basis to all customers.  Check with us at the shop if you´re interested in more.  Enjoy!
